Climate adjust... Its been in your country a while now, shipping is the worst time. That time in the customs warehouse all helps.

Your big enemies are going to be dust and fumes. You need to figure out how to control all the dust you get from sanding. Especially as others in the apartment may not like butterscotch or blue dusty fingerprints or the smell of paint. Have you figured out exactly how you propose to finish it. I don't like to spray paint in an apartment, you may be better off with wipe on dye and oils.
Practice wood may come free by keeping an eye open for old furniture broken in a skip!
