I was shocked when I received the box with the chair in it. I thought there was no way it could fit in that box, but once I opened the box, unzipped the bag and removed the packing plastic, it expanded (and expanded and expanded)! My kids love it! They have traditional bean bag chairs and prefer this one over those because it is so much softer and cushier. The fabric covering is really soft -- not hard or scratchy. I'm not sure a large or older kid would find this size chair very comfortable. My wife and I both sat on it and didn't think it was as comfy as the kids. We'd probably need the larger size. Love the color!
