I am sooo disappointed in this recliner.  The smell of the chair is horrendous!  We thought it was just the shipping materials/wrapping, but it has not abated since we purchased this.  I am at a loss of what to do.  I love the look and the recliner is comfortable, but the chemical like smell is embarrassing and people start sniffing after they sit down.   Any one else out there have this issue with this chair?  Am I stuck with this?????  Accckk!
