So far so good! I've given 4 stars due to the fact that we haven't had them but a week! They were super easy to put together. Packaging was great, very thorough. Delivery was super prompt. They seem well made. They are border line almost too big (even for small-ish chairs).  If you are looking for something that is comfy to read a book for a longer time, probably not for you. We are using these as guest seating and they will do just fine. The color is more of a SADDLE not a PUMPKIN as depicted in the photo. I'm good with that.

Regarding any smell. Ours did not smell like anything other than faintly of a "new chair" smell.
