Super comfortable! Great for kids and adults!
So awesome! I got it for my 4 year old, but I love it too! It's super comfortable and has a good back support. And the best part was the box that it came in! It came in a big box that turn into a castle. It gives you instructions and tells you we're to cut to make the turrets, door, and windows; and after the windows are cut out, the double as shields, and part of the cut out turrets double as the shield handles. It's actually super cute! And such a great and creative idea to cut down on cardboard box waste!

Not worth the headache
Haven't even had this for a month and already popped a hole in it. I can't even make this up. My son went to sit down in it and a billion little white balls flew out. And then sewing it back up was a pain. The styrofoam balls kept sticking everywhere due to static. I eventually got it sewn, but I definitely will not purchase again. The material needs to be stronger.

    Good
    The chair itself seems good, but the box it arrived in was crushed, open and really dirty. It had some beans loose in the box as well, but luckily I haven't seen any holes.

    Frayed Seam
    I purchased the bean bag chair for my 8 yo grandson at Easter. I checked it over to insure there were no holes, etc. It appeared to be fine. A few days ago I noticed some leakage of the little "beans" so I looked and found there was a seam that had frayed and pulled away from the fabric and the liner. This is not a tear or rip. It looks as if the fabric was frayed as it was constructed and with use it weakened it more so it separated. Regardless I certainly expected the chair to last longer than a few weeks. My grandson is tall and slim. He was also warned not to abuse it. He was so happy the minute he saw it so you can imagine his disappointment when this happened.

    Best delivery of product and comfortable
    I dont normally review products but these bean bag chairs are super comfortable and my toddler loves them. They were also shipped in the coolest boxs that turn into castles. My son has been playing with it for hours.

    Chair came dirty
    The chair itself is fine, but it came with spot and dirty. Even the delivery driver told us he told the store while picking up and the store told him to deliver as is. The chair was not covered or wrapped in anything.

    I love the chairs but had a horrific delivery/refund experience. A driver in a dirty pick up truck arrived with my two kids bean bag chairs in the back. No protective covering or bag on the chairs. The items were dirty like the truck they rode in. Bird poop on a chair to top it off. I called and was refunded. Then they even gave an e-gift card for my troubles. Taking these dirty chairs in my car to return at store was not an opinion for me. I received refund and thought it was done. Until a month later I get charged for having not returned them to store. Thankful for the store manager for helping with the refund after being recharged. He understood the situation and agrees there are some bad delivery people handling those types of uber like deliveries.

    Not happy with quality inconsistency
    Ordered a grey and purple one. Purple one was practically deflated.

    Disappointed
    I bought two for my girls and we had it for about a month and it lost its shape and totally deflated. I'm disappointed.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
    Not worth the money bought them for my kids for Christmas so only 3 months old and the bottoms are blowing out of them! My kids are only 1,3, and 11 they each got one and each are doing the same! Total waste! If the bottoms held up it would be totally worth it but the bottoms are barely stitched on!

    Big joe is big chilling
    I just laid out a new carpet so I decided to buy this bean bag chair to sit on the ground. It’s surprisingly comfortable and forms more like a chair than a beanbag. It does make some noise when you move around but that’s to be expected. Every now and then I fluff up the chair to get the bead more to their original form. It does what I need it to do and I’m happy with the big joe! I also love the way the denim material feels. My girlfriend loves it so much she got one for herself in pink

    Good and Bad!! Want replacement.
    These were Christmas gifts i had shipped for my 2 Grandsons for their new rooms in a new city. One arrived in very good condition and the other arrived with a seam open up top and half filling in top is missing. The top is flopped down and I'm very disappointed that something so obvious was ignored by whomever packed it should have been aware that the filling was flying out of the top of chair where hole is.

    Perfect - Especially For A Mermaid Room!
    We needed a comfortable chair for a very very small space. We are a family of 5 in 1000 square feet and my daughter has the smallest room (only roughly 8ft x 8ft square). We wanted to give her a nice area in her room where she can sit and read, but we couldn't fit a traditional chair so we ordered this. Not only did it fit perfectly, but it matched the mermaid theme wonderfully as the back of the beanbag is scalloped (so it almost looks like a shell). The first thing she said when she was it was "A mermaid chair!!!!" So it was perfect for what we needed. It seems to be made well and she says it's very comfortable. She fits well in it (she is 5 years old) and loves sitting in it as much as possible. Overall we're very happy with this and we'd recommend it for sure.

    You get what you pay for—might be great for you
    You get what you pay for. After only a day (I weigh 180lbs) I've realized I have to flip it over before I can sit on it otherwise there's no longer back support. It's weird. It was cheap though so if you don't mind a little effort before you plant your caboose than it'll do :)

    Love this chair!!!
    I looked at a million kids chairs literally on amazon target Walmart and this was the last one I came across and the measurements were perfect for my daughters tent which is what made me dig deeper. I never heard of big now chairs before but I read some reviews and it seemed like a good product the day before I got this I saw one at target my daughter wanted I was like oh no! Then the next day this one came in the mail. It's way bigger than I expected! My daughter is 6 and all the backs of the chairs were too small for her this one goes right up to the lower part of the back of her head her knees are even with her hips when she sits so it's not too low to the ground! It's absolutely perfect! I read reviews where people couldn't get the zipper opened to refill it so I tried and I couldn't either then I found a trick don't pull back hold the fabrics up put the paper clip in and pull towards yourself then zip and wa-lah! Unzipped so easy! Then all the little beans started falling out and trying to get them back in was a nightmare so don't open the zipper till u have to fill it! Lol but overall it is sooo soft comfy pretty and durable! I love it!

    Already starting to get flat
    We've only had this for a few months and it almost instantly started to look sad and deflated- with very little use. I suspect that it will need to be refilled every few months if not more. It took me awhile to decide to buy it. I can't believe I spent that much money on it and now I will be spending even more to maintain it. All in all it's not a terrible buy, but it can be very frustrating. Note that if you're buying this for a child or a smaller adult then it will probably work just fine, but if you're on the larger side then you will be refilling it often.
