I have owned several giant bean bag chairs (by competing brands) but this is my first acquisition of a Comfy Sack bean bag chair. And it's awesome.I gifted it to my niece, age 3, who is the perfect size for this thing (see photo). I fear she'll never go back to using a traditional chair again, much to the chagrin of my brother.The bean bag comes compressed in a box, needing about a day to fully expand after removing. The microfiber cover is soft and comfortable, -- as well as removable, Holla! -- and the color is rich. It also feels durable, which is important, as my niece loves to do bellyflops onto it more than she enjoys sitting still.Bean bags of this quality are never cheap, so even though the price may seem excessive, I think it's justified.The bean bag is also manufactured in the USA, so no worries of cheap foreign, potentially hazardous, material. Big plus. The chair is also covered under a 5-year warranty, which is awesome.If you have children, this makes for a great gift, likely to last years. Highly recommended.
