Out of the very small box, I was mad and ready to return but read the directions that it would take a week to expand to the full size and decided to give it a try (however at the point of unwrapping it keep in mind that you will NEVER get it back into original packaging if you want to return it).  It takes a lot of beating, kicking and lifting to get the chair shape (and it's heavy!!), but in the end my son is happy and it does finally look like a chair.  The lounger is big and most of the "big" is wasted in the back and adds nothing to the size of the sitting area (only the space it takes up in the room).  I never could get enough of the foam to settle in the seating area so that part is soft and lumpy.  I would not recommend this chair to anyone who is looking for something that will not take constant fussing to keep it's shape.
