Title: Will probably be returning it
Review: I should have done research on MDF fiberboard before I bought this. It is basically wood particles bound together with formaldehyde, and this screen smells like it. I've left it out in the back yard the last couple days, hoping the noxious smell will go away. So far it has only lessened a bit. If by tomorrow I can't leave it in a shut room overnight without the entire room reeking the next morning, this is going back.Looks nice enough and would have fulfilled my purpose for it (too small to block an average size fireplace, but large enough to hide some plumbing I don't want showing in my finished basement). I'm not willing to get cancer for it though. Formaldehyde is a known carciongen, which is why it amazes me that people tolerate this stuff being put in home products.
