The structured bean bag chair is very well made.  The seams seem to be reinforced so splits shouldn't be an issue.  The beans are larger than the beans used years ago.  They are about half the size of a marble.  The chair could accommodate a small adult easily.  It is very comfortable.  The chair is very supportive and the shape reminds me of a baseball glove with the channeling of the seams at the backrest.  Very light weight and easy to pull around.  Ideal for a kids playroom or bedroom.
