Noticed multiple comments about the odor/smell in the interior. Most people didn't mention that, so I'm wondering how big a deal that really is.

I didn't notice that at all. I have bought three of these for petty cash at work. None of them had an odd smell - and I'm pretty sensitive to smells. Maybe there was batch that was stores with some smelly stuff ??

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

Wasn't an issue at all with ours. I've had that happen with other items, luggage...etc, but our safe had no issues.

I love this safe, I use it everyday and there is no odor/smell that I have ever noticed...there is a cushion in it on the bottom but u can take that out if u want. For me this purchase was great and I dont have a single complaint.

There is definitely a smell, but that's normal for most items requiring a solvent. I actually like the smell, but my wife didn't. No big deal, just opened the windows for an hour or so and it was fine.

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

I don't / didn't smell anything. Most new things have a "factory" odor but will go away with a little love. :)

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.

There is a slight "something cooking" odor, more so when the unit is new. Mine is over one year old and I don't notice the odor any longer.

It does have a smell and I would not use it indoors-unless you like to clean :) it seems like it left more little specs of string than others cans might have.

In the beginning only. It wasnt a bad odor, it just smelled like there was something being cleaned kind of? Sorry can't explain too well. In any case the smell goes away. Also I thought it would have been bigger than the picture. But it doea what it needs to and we use it all day and all night since we've bought it.

I purchased mine last week & have had no issues with smell or auto wake/sleep. From other reviews I've read, it seems like people posting those issues have been sent replacements and edited their feedback.

I didn't notice any strong odors from ours. We put it in the car within a day of removing from the box. I wouldn't be concerned.

I did notice an odor at all not did my kids or husband. However, I was not "smelling" for one so we may not be sensitive to it. I do know what you mean especially when the box opens.

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.

I have kept mine in my case for two years. I recall there being a odor during installation and when I would first start the computer up. It has long since faded in odor and the padding is still fixed to the interior. No smell.

I'm not sure how helpful this is, but we also bought one 6 months ago, I can't remember if it had an odor but if it did it doesn't now. I'd wipe it down if you haven't and leave it in an open space to air out and see how it does.

Not at All! Its just a packaging smell and its made of a rice-paper like material so it soaks up any smell of the room quickly. Its very cheaply put together on the sides though. Just be very careful opening and closing it...very pretty though.

Personally I think the comment "smells awful"is a little exaggerated. Most any preparation has some smell unless it's scented.
