I think the smell is something to do with chemicals used in the manufacturing process, and I have a feeling it may contain formaldehyde.0

I think you will find most thins wood wise in the house contain formaldehyde?
If you are worried give it a coat of varnish this should get rid of the smell.The measure of love is love without measure0
