My wife has another chair from officeworks, a cheaper vinyl one... no problems with smells there!
Rowan - we've tried a lot of stuff and we think the smell has something to do with the padding inside the seat. We noticed it almost as soon as we unpacked the boxes.

While we were using them constantly about the only thing that kept the smell under control was regular spraying with Febreeze.

We tend to go through chairs about every 12 months and when it came time to replace them we went back to cloth covered chairs. Up here in Qld they're much more comfortable than leather.
