Review on Sauder Beginnings 3-Shelf Bookcase: Highland Oak Finish - Organize your Space with Style by Jessica Watts

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting smell for bookshelves

I bought 3 pieces as a temporary solution. They are so cheap that I planned to give them to Goodwill when I moved abroad. When I finished building the first one, I was so sick I just couldn't make another one. I first sat in the corner and soon realized that my whole apartment stank of this stench. I ended up putting it outside under the roof - it was raining. The smell is so strong I'm not sure it will ever go away. As if a strong aroma had been added to the glue in the chipboard. It's extremely toxic. I got a headache almost immediately. Luckily, Revane took the other two units. They smelled the same. It was strong even though the boxes were still sealed.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Sad packaging
