Does this item have that strong formaldehyde 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.

It does have a slight smell from the particle boards, but it goes away in a couple of days, no problem.

Absolutely not. It looks beautiful. I have the entire set, the lift top coffee table, 3 side tables, the taller cabinet and the sideboard. Our living room is done in a rustic look, and although these are inexpensive and not real wood, they look beautiful and are sturdy and well made. For the price.... you can not go wrong......D HALL

Did have an odor for a few days, but it was a typical particle board smell.

NO - I never noticed ANY unusual scent when the packaged was opened or during assembly.

I have only used this one once, and I did not like the scent. As to whether it was strong odor, I don't recall. Sorry if this is not too helpful!

No, it does not have a bad or strong smell. I took off the lid yesterday and mine smells like lotion. I'm not sure how well the product works because I have only used it two times.

I did notice the smell but mine wasn't what I would call strong. And it did air out. Haven't noticed since the first day. Hope this helps.

No, I have not noticed a smell of any kind from the product. I'm sure it has but it must be extremely light.

No, I can't say it's had any odor since I opened the pkge and put it in my small closet. I would have noticed pretty quickly if there was any kind of smell. Hope this helps!

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

It shouldn't have that smell. Mine didn't but I returned this anyways and got another brand which is lightweight and better :)

I have had this fore about 2 years now and I cannot remember any chemical smell for it at all, not even when it was new. We have machine washed ours at times, if you want to try to get the smell out. Hope all works out.

No. No strong odor. Just smelled clean, and most importantly lifted dirt and set-in stains.

I've had mine for quite a while so there is no plastic smell. I don't remember if it had one in the beginning. It is pretty thick. That is one thing I liked about it.

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.

I did not notice a strong odor with mine. Air it out before putting it together and return it if it still has an odor is my recommendation.

Well，I think it does has smell because I was shocked by it at first. It is a problem that I didn't mention before. But the smell may be not that strong.

Mine did have a strong smell, but I left it open in the sun for a few hours and the smell disappeared. My little dog loves this bag and runs inside when ever I place it in front of her.

I bought two of them in the past two years. I didn't remember the strong smell like you sensed. I am not sure if the smell is from new paint.

No it does not have a strong smell nor does it linger after use. There is no toxic warning on the bottle I have but it may have some petro products that are sometimes necessary to remove stains. I have asthma and it has never bothered my condition. Hope this helps.
