My furniture smells, what is that and how can I get rid of it?

This is not common with our line of products but, it can happen with new furniture. If you notice that the new furniture purchased from us is emitting a discomforting odor, do not be concerned, this is known as “off gassing”. There is nothing to worry about; the smell will not harm you or your child. The smell occurs when the product does not have enough to time to dry in the factory after being painted. 

The best way to get rid of the odor is to place the product in a well-ventilated room for a few days with the drawers and everything open. Ventilation alone should do the trick in most cases. If the smell is persistent, the manufacturer suggests cleaning the furniture with a lemon scented name brand furniture cleaner or a home made vinegar and baking soda solution.

My Drawers will not fully extend and/or close completely. Why is this happening? or Why are the drawers hard to open?

In order to keep children safe, all draw gliders had rubber stoppers placed in them as a safety feature in order to prevent children from opening the drawers on their own and potentially tipping the whole unit over.

In order for the drawers to be completely shut, you need to push them in until you hear a click or pop sound. This way you can ensure that the rubber stopper is engaged. It will take some time to loosen the gliders, stiffness when open and closing the drawers will disappear after some time of constant use. Due to the long shipping process, it is possible your furniture needs time to adjust and settle.
