Did anyone that purchased this notice a very strong chemical smell coming from the chair after opening? If so did the smell fade for you?

Ours smelled like new plastic for the first couple days but the smell faded quick. Everything that could went through the dishwasher on steam setting and the entire thing got wiped down with lysol wipes.

The smell went away for me after about a day or two. I also wiped down the whole chair.

It smelled vaguely of vinyl shower curtains when I first opened it, but I never noticed the smell lingering in the room and it didn't take long for the smell close up to go as well.

no problems with mine at all, maybe you got the lemony one. that was the exact reason I got rid of the old chair I had that was similar.

Mine never had a really strong odor. There was a slight odor, but not an unpleasant one, for the first week or so but none that I've noticed since then. I think it just needed to air out a little. Now it just smells like leather.

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

yes a very strong chemical smell but I washed the cover and allow the pillow to air out for several days and it went away. I think it must be something they spray in the warehouse because other things shipped by Amazon had similar smell.

Yes the one i received has a really strong chemical smell. Not sure if it is the wood polish or what.

I have had the chair for a while now and can honestly say i have not. I am still in love with my chair since i put it together.

We did not notice any smell on opening. We aired it for a couple of hours in the room with the windows open, mainly to let it expand to size and then made the bed and slept on it that night.

What odor? Try washing the chair with a disinfectant and air dry. If that doesn't work, return it.

When first opened it has a plastic smell, but it has since faded away for me. (I've owned this product for 3 months now)

I suppose it is like a new car - the "new chair" odor will disappear with time. I did not notice a strange objectionable odor. I was more concerned about the stability and functioning of the chair, which I found to be excellent.

No strong odor was noticed. When I first opened it, there was a little smell, but it went away quickly. I opened the mattress in the afternoon and slept on it that night, and I couldn't smell it at all.

Yes! ours smells a terrible toxic/chemical smell. The item has been out of the box but in the plastic bag it shipped in on top of our changing table, and I just took the bag off and noticed the strong smell (we received this as a gift a few months ago). I didn't want it collecting dust before the baby came, but now I am hoping it airs out in time. Other reviewers say the smell dissipates quickly. Hoping this is true.

Mine had a little odor when arrived. I left it open for a few days then it's gone.

I've also washed mine twice, sprayed it with odoban, and sprayed it with Ozium.I bought this because a lot of the reviews mentioned that the smell /does/ go away, but so far that hasn't been my experience. I've only owned it for a few days, of course, but it still smells so strongly that I'm afraid to have it indoors, let alone put my netbook in it and carry it with me.

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

Nope it does not. I washed mine before I used it so there was no chemical smell. Ive had it this long and it still had broken either. Hope this helped. :)
