Question from jojomamma
Thank you so much for all your time and energy you give! You have been such a help to me!
I am in search of toy storage and a bed frame for my boy. Being on a budget, I have looked at used furniture, but have had no luck yet.
My question is: If a piece does not smell bad, should that give me the green light to bring it in my home? Does that mean it has “offgassed” & is old enough to now be safe?
I wish I could just go to Ikea or Target & convieniently pick something up! It seems that everything “safe” is so expensive.

If you don’t smell anything, it’s probably fine.
If you get it home and discover it has an odor, put it outdoors in the sun for a few days.
