Re: Furniture smells

It is called Off Gassing, and yes, the varnish and all of the other materials are exactly what you are smelling. It does dissapate, eventually, but in the meantime, do try to ventilate as much as possible. There are people that are actually quite allergic to all of that (happens with new contstruction, too) and it can make them quite sick. It is part of the reason that the sustainable and green interior design movement has emerged.
