Bought and put together one of these a few days ago:

It is made of the usual Ikea laminated sheets.
A day later I noticed quite a strong smell in the room - something I would describe as a mixture of wet wood shavings and varnish...
Thought that it was because it was new, so have kept the window in the room open every day since (closed at night - it is a bedroom). The smell in the morning is pretty strong/bad and not getting any better.
There is/was no sign of any moisture inside when I opened the box - the cardboard box was also completely dry.
Any idea? I am sure Ikea will take it back, but I am actually planning on buying another unit... Shall I wait a few weeks for a new batch to arrive?
