I bought the orange style to put next to a small chair in our living room.  It is actually more of a peach or salmon color, rather than an Orange but works with our room.  They did have a strong chemical odor to them when I first opened the package and the disclaimer about breathing in toxic fumes was a little unnerving, but I just put them outside on our porch for a bit to air out.  No remaining smell.  This day and age, what isn't toxic... Any who, they work perfectly in the space and we love them!
