Very nice product, I was able to cram a good amount of notebooks and other papers, it is very decorative and makes really good on my balcony. I bought an ottoman to complete. One downside, it's true that it smells bad, I've had 15 days, I diffuse scents and vaporizes Febreze, the smell was already diminished. You have to let time take its course, it should end up going :)
