Has anyone noticed an unpleasant odor from this bench? Some other benches have been described as having an off-putting odor, at least initially.

I did notice an odor. Part of it was from the packaging. Part of it was from the materials the bench was made from. However I went ahead and assembled it and after a couple of days I didn't even notice the smell any longer. It had dissipated. Come to think about it the smell is pretty common from products made in China. If you have a very sensitive nose this may or may not be an issue.

I didn't experience any odor with my bench. It came boxed up and wrapped in plastic, and once it was assembled ( legs put on) it was ready to go - no lingering plastic odor or anything. I really like the padding - it has enough cushion so that i can practice for a 2 hour stretch and have no problems.

No, there's no odor at all from our bench. Everything has been perfectly normal.

I have never noticed any odor what so ever . From the moment I took the artist bench out of the box (so easy to assemble) I have loved it ! It is comfortable, beautiful, and very sturdy. It is gorgeous with my grand piano and I sit on it daily for hours and just love this Bench!

I didn't notice an odor. When you get it, let it sit opened up for a day , if that's a concern.

I've had mine for over a year now and I haven't noticed any odor. As for the temperature of the pillow, it's like any other pillow, cool at first, but as time progresses through the night it warms up. I just flip it over, lol! It is still a good pillow fof the money and I'd buy it all over again.

I'm fairly sensitive to these types of plastic odors. I did not notice an objectionable smell when I first opened it. It does not smell now, either.

Mine was pretty smelly too...and then it completely fell apart after a week so I tried to get a refund. Amazon only gave me 20% since I couldn't return the item (as you know, it's big and heavy and once it's assembled it's kind of tough to put it back in the box). So...if yours still isn't assembled I'd advise returning it before you're stuck with a bad product.

I never noticed any odor. Some people are more sensitive to that kind of thing than others, but apparently if there was an odor, I neverpicked up on it.

Hi Connie. I don't know about anyone else, but my memory foam mattress does not have any odor. I did air out the mattress before folding into my queen size sofa bed. I waited and aired it out about 2 hours. So far no odors, and is very comfortable. My only concern is thatmy sofa bed and mattress do not measure precisely. What happens is that part of the mattress overflows from sides. The sofa bed mechanism is rubbing against the sides and wearing the sides to where pretty soon it may make holes on the side. Hope I answered your question Connie. Take Care. Francisco.

I noticed there was a strong plastic smell for the first several days. My nose is not very sensitive but my mom noticed it. I guess that is normal for any of this kind of inflatable chairs. It was Summer when I bought it. I let it sitting in my bedroom and sometimes kept a fan blowing towards me when I was sitting on it. I believe the smell completely went away after maybe 3 or 4 days. I bought this chair for several months now, it is in very good condition and being very helpful to me.

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 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.

I really did not notice a smell. My husband put it together around 11:00 AM, I got home from a meeting around 3:00 PM and there was no smell at all. My husband said it had a slight rubber smell when he opened it up and got it set up, but nothing terribly offensive.

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

I didn't notice any odor. I have used the table a few times and have been pleased.

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.

Nope - haven't detected any smell from it at all. Overall very nice chair, at least for me.

mine had no particular odor but I bought it from an airport shop so maybe it was a while on display and that helped. That is at least what another reviewer suggested. By the way the price there was much lower that the regular price even with tax.

I've had no issues with the odor. I barely notice the "plastic smell" most people comment on. I have a friend who also uses one and his does not smell either. I took mine apart and put it through the dishwasher before ever using it. Now, I wash it off with rubbing alcohol between uses, and as I said, I never smell the plastic. I hope that helps... Good luck.
