I'm VERY sensitive to smells and this sofa has a very strong sort of chemical smell in the fabric.  My husband says it's fine, but I just can't handle the smell.  But, again, I'm just very very sensitive to smells.  I have no idea what the smell is exactly, but it burns my nose and I can't breathe.  I'm going to have to return the sofa for that reason alone.  The sofa is good quality.  It's a very firm sofa.  The fabric is good quality , with the exception of that smell.  I didn't pay a lot for it, but I'd say for the price and for what it is I'd give it a five out of five. Yes, even with the strong smell because that's just me and has nothing to do with the quality of the sofa itself.
