Are there any obvious odors with this rocker, either from the wood or (especially) from the cushions?

I have not noticed any odors from this rocker. I love it and so do my granddaughters.

Neither I nor my husband, who put it together, noticed any smell. It really is a beautiful rocker.

Hello Fredric, I believe the odor is due to the fact that this is genuine leather. I have had mine for about a month and it has not gone away yet.

I did not notice an odor. I am happy with my purchase. This is my second pillow like this.

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.

Ashley, I purchased 2 of these chairs for my den (small room) about 5 months ago. Regards "odor" ... there may have been a very faint "vinyl" odor when I took all the parts out of the boxes & assembled them. I spend 5-6 hours a day in my den on the internet, watching TV, etc and have never noticed an odor. More important, my wife has never noticed an odor. I just now stuck my nose up against one and double checked - nope, no odor at all. They are comfortable, look good, and match my leather couch perfectly.

I never checked for a "smell" when I received mine. I just automatically air anything like that when I get it for a couple of days. If there was a smell, it was gone in that short time. The pillows are wonderful, by the way.

The box in which the chairs arrived was somewhat battered. There was no evidence of stink. We haven't noticed any cracking with use. So far, the cushions are fine as is the weather here. When cold weather comes, we would probably do well to bring the cushions indoors. This is plastic wicker and more likely more substantial than nature made wicker.

I keep mine on the dining room table, and I haven't had that problem either. It looks nice there and there's no odor.

I don't recall any offensive smell with mine, maybe a new/or packaged smell but once it was out of the box and assembled, it was fine. I believe this is a great product and the answer to all of the kitty litter problems I had previously experienced.

What odor?If there is an odor from the new chair, then send it back for an exchange.

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.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

Yes, there was a 'new finish' odor when it first arrived. We don't have sensitivity issues, but maybe you could take it out of the box and let it air outside for a day or so? The desk itself was a great purchase for my daughter, who is an artist. She uses it in bed to sketch her ideas before bed. Great little storage drawer, too.

No, there should not be an odor. Something must be wrong with the particular item you purchased. I would send it back and ask for an exchange. I have never noticed any odor at all and I have used it for years. Good luck!

I had no problem with any odor. This is a great stool. The rubber bottom helps it stay in place. The long handle gives you the support you need to hold on to. Just these two qualities makes it great for me. You really can't go wrong!

No odor. There was a little dent in it though....not real noticeable and wouldn't affect the purpose of the table.

I second what the two other respondents said, no smell whatsoever. It seems to be completely raw wood. However for us it seemed a bit rickety so we chose to bolt it to the wall. Also the space between the rungs on the ladder is a bit much so our 4 year old needed some help the first few times she used it. We chose to hang curtains around the space under the bed to turn it into a playhouse. We put a beanbag and toys, books in there and she loves it. All in all we're very happy with it!
