AWFUL CHEMICAL SMELL, BEWARE

I bought the teal color one, IT SMELLS AWFUL, like a chemical plant. I took the thing out of it's wrapper and left it in a spare room hoping it would air out and be fine. 6 hours later the entire room smelled awful. I took the pad off thinking that was the problem and put it in my garage. I don't think I will use the pad any way, I think laying the table top part on top of a pillow will work better for me. The top part also had the chemical smell but not to strong, and now I don't really notice it. I kept it because it was cheap and I don't have the time to deal with returning it. The top is a good size, I like the curve that is cut out and also the handle on it. I then found a similar smaller lap table on Ikea's website for the same price (though I don't know what their shipping charge would be) and I think if this Amazon item doesn't work out I will try the one from Ikea. Wish I had found the Ikea one first. Don't know if the other color options smell as bad. I would suggest skipping this item.
