I was very hesitant to order this bed based on reviews that complained of a toxic paint smell. We did order the bed and did not have a problem with a toxic paint smell. Since the issue did concern me, I opened the boxes and took all pieces out to air out in the garage for 3 days before moving it to my daughters room. I noticed only a slight smell even when I unpacked the boxes, nothing that concerned me. There are a lot of pieces and it took my husband and I 7 hours to put the bed together. When finished it looks very nice and is sturdy.
Good value
