Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your product. We understand that your children are precious to you, and we truly appreciate you trusting us with your child’s needs. We apologize for the odor issue you have experienced. Please rest assured that all our finishes are non-toxic, safe, and comply with both Federal and State regulations. Additionally, we conduct thorough testing for over 10,000 chemicals, including more than 1,000 specific regulated chemicals of concern, to ensure the safety of your child. That being said, we understand that some consumers may be sensitive to the fresh odor of newly finished wood. This scent should dissipate over time with proper ventilation. If you have any further concerns or questions, please visit https://www.deltachildren.com/pages/contact-us-delta#tab-inquiries to contact us including "REVIEW" in the subject line so that we can prioritize your request. We are here to help.
