contents The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a new smooth version of a CW complex named a fat CW complex, and to show that it includes all closed manifolds, because existing smooth versions of CW complexes (e.g. [Iwa22]) do not have such property. We also verify that de Rham theorem holds for a fat CW complex and that a regular CW complex is reflexive in the sense of Y. Karshon, J. Watts and P. I-Zemmour. Further, any topological CW complex is topologically homotopy equivalent to a fat CW complex. So, a fat CW complex enjoys many nice properties.
