I've had mine for over a year and have never noticed any odor. It's incredibly functional, looks classy and I would recommend purchasing one. I used it as a printer stand/file cabinet.

Can't tell you about odor. Our came so badly damaged, we called amazon and had them arrange for the freight carrier to come back and pick it up.

I did not have any problems with a chemical odor at all. I give this product highest ratings. I really liked that it came mostly assembled.

We ordered two of these and had no problem with a chemical odor at all. These units are very versatile.

We never noticed an odor and it is in a pretty small room. We have had it two years and it looks and performs great. We could not be happier with the purchase.

I read that too but not at all true, at least in my case. I'm very happy with this, the finish is good as are the slides. Very sturdy and well made, and I'm pretty fussy.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

My pillow absolutely REEKED when I first received it. Seemed way worse then most people are reporting, maybe it was a fresh batch of foam or something but the smell lingered for more than a few days. Even six months later if I stick my face in it I can smell it. That being said I'm sure sticking it in the wash would help rid the pillow of its chemical stench right away and after the smell was gone/tolerable I really liked the pillow.

I am maybe more sensitive to chemicals than most people, and unfortunately, I would say after letting it air for 2 days, that there is still a very unpleasant smell. I put a mattress cover on top of it, but I still notice a very unpleasant smell. I don't notice it until I am in bed, where it's very close to my face.

I found that the smell is from the rubber strips sewed in the elastic bands on the grid. Over time the smell does tend to disappear unless smelling the item directly. Exp. I own Versions for iPad, and iPad Mini. Both have had the smell go away to the same effect.

I just opened mine and got the same chemical smell. It is disconcerting. I'll leave them open for a bit and see.

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

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

Yes, I experienced the same thing but it seems OK and is helping me sleep and helping relax muscles and reduce pain. I wrote the company and asked about the rancid smell. They said the product should last for two years after purchase. I bought it about two years ago on Amazon but just now have been using it. After this bottle, I will order more. Hopefully the new bottle won't have the rancid smell. I am sensitive to fragrances and do prefer lotions with little or no fragrance.

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

I had the same experience. As a matter of fact it smelled up the whole house. The chemicals are strong as well. Attempted to return to company. They did not honor the 100 percent warranty. I would advise people to stay away from this company and safety is questionable as well due to the strong odor. Good luck in dealing with them.

I just received mine and it also has a terrible chemical odor. So disappointed and won't be able to use if I can't get rid of the odor.

I had the same problem. I turned it on high setting and quickly turned it off when I smelled something burning. The next day, I turned it to low, then medium, then high setting with no problem. Not sure where the smell comes from.

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.
