Is it a "naked" furniture without any finishes, no off-gasing adhesives or chemicals? I am looking for a non-toxic, all wood set.

JP, I'm wondering if you ordered this table? I have similar concerns, and have been looking at glass tables as well.

It has a clear finish on it that protects it from stains. It is all solid wood. Obviously there are adhesives as it is built from many smaller pieces of wood which is what makes it butcher block, however there is no odor whatsoever emanating from it. I'm sure wood glue was used, but generally that is a water based glue like the "Elmers" glue school kids use. I believe it to be totally non-toxic.

Yes, that is correct. The wood does not seems to be stained, varnished or painted except for some areas and some detail work. This dollhouse is extremely well made.

Actually it is all wood - no composite material and no veneer that I can tell. But you would have a problem staining it. There is a nice clear finish on them and you would have to sand every part of it to get stain to adhere to it - and if you missed a spot, you would have blotches. You need to get something unfinished I think.

No odor. There was a little dent in it though....not real noticeable and wouldn't affect the purpose of the table.

The outgassing not bad at all, there is a little smell from the varnish and glues at first but nothing severe, and it's not an obnoxious smell it just smells like new wood furniture.

I think the manufacturer would have to answer that, but I can tell you that there are no fumes as I have experienced when working on wood with Min Wax, etc. The finish is dark, lustrous, and well coated with something protective so that it seems very scuff resistant. I have mine in a knook that used to be a closet. I took the door off a coat closet at the front entrance of my home. Then I assembled the bench inside the knook for shoes. It is beautiful. I made a cushion to cover it. I absolutely love it! I got a mahogany colored one. I put hooks up on the walls in the knook for coats, etc. I'm so proud of this coat knook with the bench. Anne

The interior shelves are particle board kind of stuff. The top, sides and doors are wood. It came with an oil finish of some sort that smelled terrible for a few days but dissipated. No one is going to mistake this for a piece of fine furniture, but treated gently it looks okay and works fine.

It must have some sort of glue holding all of these small pieces together, but there was no noticeable odor other than naked wood when it arrived. I rubbed beeswax into it after it was assembled and that is still the only thing I smell. (Chemical odors tend to give me a headache and drive me nuts).

The wood is sanded but in its natural finish (no paint, stain or varnish, etc.) You can finish it yourself with paint, stain, or polyurethane to match your decor.

I believe that it is all wood and the bit of carving is rather nice. The distressed idea of this product is not at all great The finished product has dark gray lines like it was distressed. It would be better if they discontinued this process. Otherwise it is a great table for a small space and I would not hesitate to buy another one if I needed it. Good priceand as a female I love assembling it because it is so easy.

The cabinet is solid wood has a natural light wood finish on it. Looks like it has a clear coat sealer on it. You might want to call the company customer service and ask them to be sure. They may even ship you one that has already been sanded with no finish on it. If you don't mind a little work, you could always lightly sand each piece and and apply your stain before assembly.

I actually did not buy this set. I did find the same table by itself and matched a different set of wrought iron and wood chairs to it. The table is not veneer(if this set has the same table) The one I bought is a nice solid wood piece. Love the chairs I matched with it..a LOT nicer than the ones included with this set.

Hi! I love mine. It's solid wood, all except the actual table top which is pressed wood but beautiful! It's not painted. In fact, I bought two extra bar stools to match! I highly recommend this set. And the company is awesome to work with!

We haven't had any problem with the range of materials we've used this on for over a year with a cross country move in between, but none of the furniture was really high end. You put it on the soft rubber and it comes off with the rubber (I guess it's rubber). The minor bits of the glue were easily rubbed off the wood. But that was just my own experience. The glue strips are 3M and really adhere to the rubber.

I just received this night stand a couple of weeks ago and I love it!! It is solid wood, except for maybe the back. The top is solid wood, the drawers are solid wood (you can even see how the drawers are made of wood similar to tongue/groove), drawer fronts wood. It is a solid piece of furniture and a the best thing is NO assembly is required!! All you have to do is screw in the feet!!

Karen. I hate to say this but I hate to return this piece of furniture because it was so poorly built. I would say that if you could get it put together you would not be happy with staining it. It's a nice rustic green and I think if you tried to stain it it would end up almost black. You would be better off painting it I would think. Good luck!
