   Hazardous Chemicals Disclosure on Packaging, November 5, 2013

   First of all, I really want to THANK the seller for making this disclosure. It shows the seller has integrity and is trustworthy. But I just don’t understand why this product cannot be produced with non hazardous chemicals. The packaging states that the chemicals used are known to cause cancer and reproductive risk. It also instructs the user to wash hands thoroughly after each contact. But it’s a steering wheel cover! Had I known this up front, I would have never purchased the product in the first place. I just hope this warning helps others considering this purchase. It explains the strong, persistent smells other reviewers have referred to. It might be wise to call the seller to get more details before purchasing. The product is actually quite attractive and otherwise seems well made.

   Good Quality Wheel Cover, December 1, 2012

   Overall, I like this steering wheel cover. The lightest beige color matches the interior of my Ford Freestyle perfectly. The darker color beige is a nice accent. It is a good quality steering wheel cover and does not look cheap at all, except for the «burlwood» detail. That being said, I have a few issues with it which is why I can’t give it 5 stars.

   First, I bought this cover hoping to get something that would coordinate with the burlwood details on my car’s dashboard. The burlwood detail on this does not look like burlwood at all. It is a glittery coppery orange color with scattered dark streaks and has no resemblance to any wood grain I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t expecting a perfect match but this honestly affects the look of the cover and is my least favorite feature.

   Second, this cover might work better for someone with a fairly narrow steering wheel. Mine is pretty thick and while the cover fits snugly, the inside of the wheel is exposed. My husband doesn’t think this is a legitimate concern and tells me if I wanted a snug fit on the inside, I should have gotten one of the steering wheel covers that have the strings you can pull to tighten the cover. Regardless, I hate seeing so much of the inside of the wheel. It defeats the purpose of the cover to me. So, if you’re the type of person that would be bothered by this too, you should probably get another cover.

   Third, the chemical smell is pretty strong. The first week or so of using this, I had to ride with my car windows down and leave them down when I parked it in the garage. The smell was stifling. It’s calmed down quite a bit, but even now, when I’m done driving, the smell is on my hands.

   Despite my issues with this item, I still give it 4 stars because it’s a high quality item, it looks nice in my car, and it does what it’s supposed to.

   Living in South Carolina, leaving my steering wheel uncovered in the summer is a surefire way to lose some hand skin when I get in my car in the afternoon. I was worried with this cover being not being made out of microsuede like the ones I usually get, it would get just as hot in the sun. But joy and delight! It does not. My hands rejoice! It looks just like advertised, it was easy to put on my steering wheel, and adds a touch of class to my 10 year old Camry. It does have a factory smell coming out of the box where, if you’re lazy like me, and don’t wipe it down before use, it’ll make your hand smell like chemicals every time you drive for at least a week. But, like I said, that’s only if you’re too lazy to do something about it.
