I purchased a 5 piece of new all cherry wood Amish bedroom set. It came with a very strong odor which is so strong I feel like I could pass out from the smell. What is the cause of this?
I called the store for help about this. They are kind of giving me run around. Also when I run my hand over any piece of it, it feels sticky and not smooth.
Could the makers of these pieces not have done a proper sanding, staining, and varnishing? I am not a carpenter, but something had to be done wrong when making this. I thought I was purchasing good quality furniture and by no means was it cheap.
I would appreciate any insight that you can give me. Thank you very much in advance for your time in giving me some kind of answer.

It seems that the word "Amish" usually means (to most people) the product will be top of the line and are willing to pay for that named item.
You can try Nok-Out. It is recommended by Mary Hunt and you can get it on Amazon.
It sounds like they were well-used and needed cleaning all around before being sold to you, unless you accepted them as used and in as-is condition. Check your purchase agreements then see if they can fix this for you before you continue to do anything to them.
Wow! Scary. Apparently this is a common problem. This website gives a lot of good info...
This one offers some solutions....

Before you go these routes, if you can't get a resolution with the store yourself, see if your local TV or radio station has an on your side or consumer protection arm. Maybe they can help you get action. No company wants bad publicly. If you can find others that have had the same issue even better! A mention of the issue on social media may help you get a group complaint together.
Good luck!!
