Did anyone get rid of the smell?

I scrubbed the poles with bleach and let them sit in the sun for a few days before I put it together. It doesn't smell at all anymore.

I didn't have any problems. Maybe try febreeze or another kind of fabric spray?

We had no smell upon opening (that I can remember). If there ever was one it left in a a few days and the kids have been enjoying sleep overs, play dress up, and play kitchen (as well as the obviously cowboys and indians) for months. Great buy!

What smell? Mine didn't have an unpleasant odor, but I have washed the cover on gentle in our washing machine once with no issues...Not sure you're supposed to do that but I have a small toddler so I went for it.

Mine didn't have a smell? However I did wash mine because it got dirty and air dried it and it was fine. I guess that would be an option if there is a smell.

The smell went away for me after about a day or two. I also wiped down the whole chair.

No not at all, I barely noticed. I did take note of the reviews to watch when you first turn it on, it will clear itself out. But the smell was very faint

Yes it does. At least it did for me. Open it up. Air it out in an open area. Another tip when I encounter smells is a small bowl of white vinegar placed nearby overnight. Let me know how it goes!

No, you just have to cure it. I cured it in my kitchen and it smelled quite a bit, but was fine.

I'm sorry Shannon, I don't remember for certain but I think it did. I gave it away because I didn't like it at all. It had a terrible smell that wouldn't go away even after airing it outside.

Just to add to P.Tran's answer, you may try adding a 1/2 tsp of white vinegar in a sink of water for the final rinse to get rid of odor.

I did not have that experience. Yes there is a slight smell but it isn't strong and it went away quickly. I have a high sensitivity to that stuff and so does my husband. I love the chairs.

I have no clue. After a bit the smell does go away, or maybe I have just gotten used to it.

I'm sorry. Mine did not come with a smell. :( Maybe ask them to replace it.

Yes. And the plastic smell I noted has retreated significantly over the past two weeks.

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

No not that I noticed. I wiped everything down with a Clorox wipe after assembly but I never noticed a smell beforehand.

No not at all. I barely notice any smell and if there is one it does not linger.

I've had my mats on for about a month now. I used an air freshener to combat the smell and it's pretty much all gone....or I'm just used to it.

wash it out with bleach and use Nok-out. You may have to do it a few times. I sprayed i down good and left it overnight then did it again and again until the smell was pretty well gone

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?
