Question from Anne
Hello,
I’ve found a few pieces of furinture imported from China that I’m interested in purchasing. They both have a lacquer finish, even inside the drawers. Recently, when I went in to look at them, a friend mentioned that you have to be careful of this kind of finish off-gassing. When we smelled inside the drawers, there is a smell there (some of the other furniture with a different finish inside the drawers had no smell). Is this off-gassing? Is there anything I can do to seal it? Will it always be there? Any advice you can give me will help.
Thanks,
Anne

I’ve heard to stay away from this kind of finish. I have no personal experience with this type of finish.
Readers?
