This isnt the bean bag chair you remember from your childhood... Its way better! It came vacuum sealed which was great because it was easier to get into my house. Once I opened it, it puffed up really quickly but it did get more solid after 24 hours of being out of the package. Its so comfy! My daughter loves to sit and read her books in this chair. I put the kids slide next to the bean bag to show how big it actually is. One thing I would recommend is to roll it around to refluff the filling every once in awhile based on how much it is used. Im very happy with this chair and see it lasting for years to come!
