I would like to buy an IKEA crib because it is affordable. The one I am looking at (Gulliver) is solid wood but the base, which the mattress sits on I think, is fibreboard. I'm assuming that contains some nasties like formaldehyde.
Do you think there is anything I can do to prevent offgasing, like covering it or painting it with a no-VOC paint? Would that seal it?
Or should I forget about it and look for something second hand which is all wood (or metal base).
