Wow thank you SO much-I’ve been searching for literally 2 years for a non-toxic coffee table (Preferably less than my monthly rent, which is already high due to having to find the one apartment building in the city-out of what seems like MILLIONS these days-that was constructed using concrete, and uses solid wood for all of the cabinetry and flooring-no carpet! There was only one other building that didn’t have carpeted bedrooms, but there were other issues (I’m also a mold refugee from my parents’ house which is why I had to take the hunt seriously)! It has certainly makes me want do something in the world of building biology, because I live in the 4th biggest city in the United States, and in every apartment a sibling has lived in, and in the first one I lived in (the OTHER apartment building that doesn’t have carpeted bedrooms-but the floors weren’t solid wood nor was any of the cabinetry eek!), there was an entire side of my building that experienced severe leaking and mold issues, it was 5 floors high, and impacted all of them-it was pretty horrifying to see what they had to go through (ie, how VERY little help they received from management), and then seeing pictures as some of them were clearly in that percentage of the population that is more susceptible to mold illness. People took pictures (and posted them on google reviews!) of their painful looking rashes, along with flooring that was completely upended. The building was build on,h ~4-5 years prior and had been using words like “the most luxurious apartment experience in Houston”-everywhere. Due to its location it could get away with this, but it’s eaten away with me that they were able to get away with turning some people’s lives completely upside down without facing any repercussions or having to pay for any medical treatments of the tenants. On the hunt for an unfinished wood coffee table I go!!!1’ Thank you so incredibly much for your BEYOND useful/helpful info that you share so freely. I so admire someone such as yourself who genuinely wants to make a difference lives of strangers! If we only had more people like that!!
