I love these chairs! I have been waiting for them to be restocked and ordered them as soon as I got the e-mail. I only ordered two as these are the end chairs for my new farmhouse table. I wanted something a little different from my other four (which were also from Wayfair and gorgeous!) Some claimed they smelled funny. I did notice this at first but after being out of the box I don't notice a smell at all. I also Scotch Guarded them to prevent stains so that may have helped with the smell. I've also noticed the reviews complaining about how difficult they were to put together. That must have been from people fortunate enough to never have to assemble their own furniture. These were a breeze. I got then Gray Linen and can't say enough great things about them. Totally fit my champagne taste but beer income look!
