Is the wood fumigated??

I am sorry. But I don't have an answer for you on this. The bed was easy to assemble but please keep in mind that the headboard bookcase is not included and is sold separately. We didn't realize this when we made our purchase.

it's NOT real wood. it's composite wood like the cheap bookshelfs you buy from target. So I guess it's not fumigated since it's not real wood.

Well, it's pressboard, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There weren't bugs in it - if that's what you are asking. It didn't smell bad. However cute this bed is (and we bought two of them), the drawer are useless. None of them work correctly. A child could not easily open and close the drawers and neither can an adult. They are so shallow that you can only put a couple of pieces of clothing in them. Really - do yourself a favor and keep shopping.

We use ours for 1/2 hour or so at a time and have no problem with fumes. There is very little noticeable smoke or odor. But if one used it continuously, there might be a need for some external ventilation.

The smoker was a gift to my brother-in-law and I asked him. He said he didn't think it would be a problem. He has his on a wood deck but hasn't seen anything alarming.

yes; though there is some sort of sealant, the wood is nice and I would not risk it.

Yes it is. There is a vent you have to open. If it is open I suggest contacting the seller.

All of the wood should be treated. Then let it sit 24-48 hours and you're in business!! Love this stuff...

I suspect for some period of time, but its solid, low grade wood and doesn't appear to be treated. If outside, even though covered, I'd coat it with some level of protection.

It is supposed to be safe foe vegetables while the furniture one is toxic. It does have the cedar smell initially but as it dries it will fade.

It is does have wood laminate and I didn't notice a strong odor after assembly.

No, there is only inert materials used inside the unit. The air is totally sweet coming out, just a slight metalic smell from the housing, but very slight. I am super sensitive to any odors and especially toxic fumes. We have had ours for a year now, use it all day during wood stove season. Love it. You can't beat this hard working little machine.

As far as I know the cedar is not chemically treated but if I were you, I would address that question to Amazon or to the manufacturer. I can answer other questions about the product but cannot answer any question about any treatment done or not done to the lumber. Only the manufacturer can do that.

Hi. I do not own this item. I purchased it, but I soon returned it after learning that furniture constructed with composite wood actually gives off formaldehyde gas.

Hi, Mason,No. It is pretty much what you see. Interestingly, the shelves have a slight cut-out at the inside point of where the door swings when the door is opened. Other than that, it is a straightforward cabinet - all the "wood" is thin, but, you most likely won't be putting anything very heavy or large in/on the shelves. For your and your family's health, I would suggest you open the box/package outside, if possible. There is always a very strong smell of formaldehyde in/on furniture that comes from Asia, I suspect, because of pests that may hitch a ride on the boat. Leaving it outside for awhile and washing it down with hot water and mild detergent should do the trick. Hi, Mason,No. It is pretty much what you see.

No, I don't think the lumber is treated, but I believe it can be stained. That's a good idea!

Absolutely not, it is purely interior only, all of the wood is exposed and is furniture grade, so no moisture at all.

Sure, it is a natural wood. It seems very porous - you may want to prime it first.

I don't think it is. The wood was dry. I screwed it all together, and no moisture leeched out. I did find this in a search, if you did wanted to treat it. http://www.wayfair.com/Gronomics-Garden-Bed-Oil-GBO-1QC-NWO1032.html
