Sturdy Sideboard with a Strong Chemical Odor

I ordered the Lucas Sideboard on August 14, 2024, but the item got lost in the mail. Target was very responsive and provided a free replacement when I contacted them on August 24, and the replacement arrived on August 29. While I appreciated Target's effort in sending a replacement, the whole process took longer than expected, and the sideboard arrived with a damaged box and minor scratches. Instead of returning it, I decided to fix the scratches myself using a black pen, which did a good job of hiding them. The piece arrived with all the necessary tools except for a Philips screwdriver. Assembly was relatively easy but time-consuming. However, the legs required specific alignment that wasn’t mentioned in the manual. I wish they had provided detailed instructions on this, as I had to figure it out through trial and error, which was frustrating and added unnecessary time to the assembly process. Another thing that was not mentioned in the manual was the gaps alignment between drawers and cabinets. This should be done by adjusting the rubber screws at the bottom of the legs. I know this because I assembled another unit from Target that had that instruction written in the manual. Another issue was the strong chemical odor emitting from the unit and the warning sign sticker on the back, which wasn’t mentioned on the website. This was a concern for me, and I wish I had known about it beforehand. For safety, I recommend keeping the sideboard in a well-ventilated area with all drawers and cabinets open for at least a day before placing it in a closed space. Despite these issues, I do think the sideboard is sturdy and has a beautiful design and size that fits everything I needed to store. However, I would advise others to purchase at your own risk. Personally, I wouldn’t have bought it if the warning sign had been visible on the website.
