Within the table there appears to be a musty smell
Is this a good question?
To eliminate the musty smell from a wooden chest of drawers, follow these steps:
Empty drawers.
Clean exterior with mild wood cleaner or water-vinegar mixture.
Vacuum interior thoroughly.
Place odor absorbers (baking soda, charcoal, or coffee grounds) in drawers for a few days.
Air it out in a well-ventilated area, ideally outdoors.
Expose to sunlight, if possible, rotating to all sides.
Consider using a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
Repeat process if necessary or seek professional help. Prevent future smells by keeping the chest in a dry environment with good ventilation.
