Several reviews mention a bad smell inside the cabinet. Can anyone tell me about the smell? Is it chemical or organic?

I'm completely happy with my cabinet and there is absolutely no smell in my cabinet.

I ordered 2 of these cabinets and haven't had any problems with them...no smell either!!! I love these cabinets! Put one in each bathroom.

It is a musty smell that I found easily remedied by cleaning it once assembled.

It was more of a chemical smell in my opinion. The cabinet is fantastic, and the smell is long gone. Could have been the paint, or glue.

To be honest, maybe refrigeration is best. I got my bottle and could NOT take the smell. It smelled bad from the minute I opened it, and did not refrigerate. I tried to tolerate it because of supposed benefits, but I ended up emptying the bottle down the sink. It smelled like rotten bouquet of roses. I don't know if that's the way it smells or I got a bad bottle, but you cant go wrong putting it in the fridge.

Like other said, dark green color is correct. Mine smelled more like a mildewy moldy smell (The MSDS lists it as "slightly fishy"). I wouldn't recommend whiffing this too often, it is full of bacteria (the MSDS says "avoid inhalation").http://www.bonide.com/lbonide/msds/msds802.pdf

Mine didn't have any odor either. So there's no problem. Bad odor are usually related with expired items.

I have also noticed a "chemical smell"...kind of like kerosine. My whole living room reeks of it. I'm a little sad since my guinea pigs have used carefresh for the last year and a half with no trouble.

We have one in our backyard and I almost never smell it. The only time I have noticed a smell has been when the lid is open and I am dumping more kitchen scraps in it and even then it's not that often. All the compost books say if it does smell bad that means you need more greens or browns depending on the smell.

I assembled mine a year ago but dont recall any unusual odors. Its made of what i call "press board" so there is a saw dust and glue sent but all furniture of this type is like that.

No smell at all, but I've got it all covered in contact paper inside and use a high sided litter box which reduces the chances of the cabinet being ruined.

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.

Hi: Sorry that you are having trouble with your microwave. I have a good sense of smell and have not found this happening with my microwave. I hope this can be rectified with who you brought it from.

Yes -a very strong industrial solvent smell! I heated it on the highest setting (without toast, under the exhaust fan of my stove) and the smell went away after 3 cycles.

There might be a slight odor. The inside of the coop is easy to clean since it has the pull out tray. The bottom and stairs is what I find almost impossible to clean and could build up.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.

From my online research the fishy smell is normal for pure rosehip seed oil, mine is the same in odor. I store it in the fridge and that seems to neutralize the odor somewhat

I agree wit you. It was my understanding the DRAWERS and closets would have an aroma. I also was most disappointed, unless I am going something wrong this product is useless. I also would appreciate some feed back from someone.

I opened the doors and drawers of the armoire and put a fan blowing on it, in my garage for several days. The odor lessened and we put it in the house. I don't notice the odor anymore, but I don't know what caused the smell.

Yes, when opening there was a chemical odor. I let it sit out for a few days (7 days) and it was gone. Never smelled again.
