Stinks to high heaven! I mean stinks. SO bad that if it was not raining, this thing would HAVE to be outside. Stinks. Has been at least 5 DAYS and it still smells. Literally could smell it from another room for 2 days. I won't/can't even sit on it the smell is so overwhelming. 
Is a good solid chair. Have to put it together yourself. I think it will last many years. OH, did I mention how bad the smell still is.....
