Hello, Does anyone know whether this particular MDF contains formaldehyde or not? I have little ones and want to avoid the typical MDF off-gassing.

I don't know if there is, but the fumes are pretty strong. If mine doesn't tone down in a week or so, it's getting placed on the porch.

Sorry, I do not know. I've never heard of MDF with formaldehyde off-gassing.

It doesn't say anything on the box what the animals are made of. I would think that if it didn't have chemicals many parents try to avoid they would clearly say so. There was also a very strong chemical smell when we opened the box, but I put them outside and then washed them and the smell went away. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful..

Hello Haon - This model bed is basically as advertised except for some minor exceptions - the slats are metal and the back of the chest unit is a hardboard covered in wood grain (basically the same thing you would find in the back of any chest you would buy at the store). All else is made from furniture grade pine. There is no MDF or particle board in this model. The white version of this bed does have MDF components but that is actually a good thing. MDF is fine - particle board in not fine. Thank you for allowing me to assist you - from the #1 Discovery World Furniture seller on Amazon - Dreamscape Furniture:) Feel free to call me at 8007719330 if you need further assistance. Scott

I have a review here but this is not the same product I purchased. I bought the QOD Max and by the smell, I'd say it did have formaldehyde in it, which I was actually looking for as it's very effective, but you do need to be in a ventilated area (windows open or even better, outdoors on a patio). Again, this isn't the same product I purchased and I'm not sure why my review is still here. I would ask the company directly as most blow-out type products no longer contain formaldehyde -- I purchased the QOD about four years ago and no longer use any type of keratin products.

I've never heard of formaldehyde in Maple syrup. Is this something that occurs? The only way to know for sure would be to take a sample to a lab that perform an analysis for formaldehyde.

The cabinet is made of the MDF board. However, the top piece is a bit heavier and is of high quality and the sides are your normal MDF. The quality is good and is a very sturdy cabinet. I hope this will help.

I think it is MDF. It is made very well. My granddaughter love this kitchen. She's had it for a year now and it still looks new.

MDF is medium density fibreboard (you can read more about that on Google) but no it is not solid hardwood, however it is sturdy.

I own 3 other temper-pedic like mattresses besides this latest one. The only smell I noticed is on initial unpacking...something chemical like, that quickly dissipated. I think it is probably a formaldehyde-like smell associated with many synthetic products, including carpets. Probably. for saftey's sake, the windows should be opened and the room aired out for the first 24 hours after unpacking.

Medium Density Fiber Board is what MDF stands for. It is similar to the pressboard you might find in cabinets. It looks like real wood when you look at it but like I said in my review, its fine as long as you don't try to move it by the handles when it has something in it to make it heavier and is on carpet. The nails will begin to pull out. It is a very nice trunk for the price and I love how it looks in the family room area in my basement.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.

I think the shelves and solid panel sections are actually constructed of Masonite (or equivalent)--the difference from MDF being no glue or resins holding it together. I don't think it would last outdoors even with a good varnish. There are too many places where moisture could get into the board.

Probably not ideal. The MDF top I believe will eventually succumb to humidity condensation etc.

No, it has no formaldehyde or toluene. Make sure you purchase the Rock Top Coat along with the Rock Hard polish. I just finished my nails with both of them!! I normally put on two coats of each.

Our set had the normal new plastic smell, but I definitely would not call it toxic. Maybe your set got left in the sun or something waiting to be shipped. It's a really cool toy that your kids will love so I'd swap it for a new one if I were you.

Hi George - It is both, MDF is both wood and glue or plastic. It is MDF with black Tolex cloth over it.Sound good with plenty of juice.

MDF, but it is just as nice as it looks in the picture and it is sized for bigger kids! My daughter is 2 and we have a little stool for her to reach the microwave! She loves it and it will grow with her. Some of the others are very small and quickly outgrown.
