I have one of these furrino tables, it's a low profile entertainment stand. Pretty well made for the price, it's holding about 40lbs of equipment and hasn't bowed or bent in the 5+ years I've owned it.
However, I will quote an Amazon review regarding formaldehyde and furinno products, very long read(for this site, anyway):
"I have confirmed with the company that this table uses 0.09 ppm formaldehyde. Usually, it's 0.05 ppm in standard. Levels from 0.1 to 0.5 ppm has caused observable nasal and eye irritation. But levels from 0.6 to 0.9 ppm has resulted eczema and changes in lung function which is to say lung damage. Which is exactly what the ppm at which this product utilizes.
To this, I say that it's absurd. The particle boards are not huge. It's not necessary to have above 0.05 ppm I would more than assume. All around; great table. Great quality, great price (affordable, cheap), and wonderful execution of design which makes it EXTREMELY easy to set up.
And I suppose that's how it is either way. Formaldehyde is efficient as a bonding agent which makes it easy to mass-produce processed wood. This makes it cheap and affordable and doesn't necessarily make it low quality depending on where you look. Full wood furniture is extremely expensive and much harder to mass produce as well as being scarce comparative, so full wood nightstands which don't utilize these toxic things go from the range of around $200-$800 even. And for me, I simply at this moment could not afford that, while at the same time truly needing one. This does the job a nightstand does as it seems, and it does it well. So for me, this works. And I like it. It would otherwise get five stars in everything if the following wasn't important to me for everyone else to be aware as I'm not abysmal of it.
But if you can afford it and are health conscious, it would be beneficial to get a full wood product, or a product with less ppm of formaldehyde. It isn't to say the quality, etc. of this product is bad.
Furthermore, make sure before you purchase this product that you understand how much you're already being exposed to via formaldehyde. Almost every single house that uses wood as a building resource in existence utilizes processed wood to some extent, most people are exposed to extreme amounts of formaldehyde which is well known to be very toxic to humans, in very large amounts especially if they do not let the house off-gas for around 2-3 years. Which is a long time to not live in a home."
So keep it in mind. At least air out the room regularly if you're concerned. Good thing for me, my table is in a room in the basement with one tiny window that never opens ☠️

First of all, it explicitly stated I was going to quote an Amazon review. I wasn't "arguing" anything, just providing some information on the formaldehyde content of the product. Secondly, I own a similar product, and keep it in an unventilated room, so I clearly am not personally concerned. I didn't post this for myself, but for everyone else. I know, 0.09PPM is not 0.1PPM, the level at which exposure can affect a person. But this product doesn't exist in a vacuum. Odds are pretty good this is not the only mdf/particle board product in your home.
If one has any preexisting skin or respiratory issues, this information may be of assistance to them. I thought people could read between the lines, apply some reading comprehension, and come to their own conclusion. If your conclusion is numbers don't match, then that's your issue, not mine.
