I can only agree with the other reviews, if the stool arrives and is unpacked stinks he really terrible. Do not understand why the company does not take on such an obvious problem factory measures. So it is enough for me only to 4 stars. The stool ansich fulfills its function and is really great for the price. I am very happy with the product.
After receiving I sprayed the whole thing with Febreze and thus ever slain 90% stench. A bit of straightening it still, but by far not as nasty as when buying.
So who is extremely sensitive or wants to use the whole thing in the children who should consider buying twice. All others can strike in the price range really top!
