"Stain-resistant," strong odors, pressed wood with formaldehyde
Secondhand furniture has already off-gassed and costs less — one of the best options. New solid wood with natural oil finishes (tung oil, linseed oil) are safer than polyurethane. Open windows during break-in period for new furniture.
"Eco-friendly" furniture often still uses conventional foam and stain treatments. "Solid wood" doesn't tell you about the finish — polyurethane finishes off-gas VOCs. "Formaldehyde-free" MDF may use other adhesives that off-gas.
