I bought a cabinet with a glass door to put my 1/6 scale figures in (pic related is basically how it looks) but I have noticed that there is a smell coming from inside the cabinet and the longer I keep the doors shut, the stronger the smell is when I open it.
It's not coming from the figures cos I've taken them out and the smell just won't go away.
Is there anything I could do to try and get rid of the smell?
idk if it's safe to keep my figures then in a cabinet like this.
I know most have just glass cases that they put these types of figures in.
Should have bought an all glass display, not only can you see your stuff much better but it doesn't smell.

take it completely apart and clean it.
Hijacking this thread to ask
Does anybody know of any white cabinets with glass doors that are perfect for displaying figures and storing media like movies, books and games?
I'm looking for something that's secure, like no way for bugs or shit to get in through the back (I have some incredibly shitty shelving/cabinets right now with this issue.)

>The materials are off gassing. It won't harm anything
Just your health. ....all that chip board shit they make furniture with now a days is terrible for you and your family health.

Ehhhhhh, probably nothing to be concerned about. If it's a piece of wood furniture below $200, it probably is either formaldehyde from the shit "wood" composite pieces or it's a poor quality filler in the stain finish making that smell. No one here can tell you what is and isn't safe over the internet.

Maybe someone on /diy/ would know, or some carpenter forum out there.

Just put 2 sheet of downy dryer sheets in the cabinet and close the door. Leave it inside for a day or two. Also put some baking soda in a small cup and leave it in the back corner of your cabinet.
It's formaldehyde from the particle board. It's why I have houseplants.

Is formaldehyde even used these days? Not all manufactured wood uses it.
But yeah, it's probably chemical smells because it's probably made out of MDF of something
