Smells like spray paint! I bought this for my babys nursery and left the window open in that room for a month due to the strong, chemical smell from this chair. Thank goodness my baby wasnt using the nursery yet, bc Id be very concerned with anyone breathing in the fumes. Now that the smell has worn off after a few months, I can say its a comfy chair, the cushion could be thicker and more supportive but you get what you pay for. Very easy to assemble.
