I love my beanbag but was very disappointed at needing to fill it myself from the bag of beans. I expected to open the box and have something I could sit on straight away. I was also disappointed at the assumption that I live with someone, or have someone I can ask to help me with the task, as the instructions advise against tackling the task alone. When friends come to visit I don't ask them to work. It's a good thing this is a type of seat, because after several hours spent filling it, I really needed to sit down! You gave some reasons why it's done this way, but I would rather have paid extra and had it pre-filled. You could offer this as an option.

Upon delivery, the box was left outside our 2nd floor flat. With a trail of polystyrene balls all the way through our block. The fact that this is self assembly is hidden in the features section of the product and I feel this should be highlighted more clearly on the page. The bag for our polystyrene balls was broken upon arrival and once we had put all the balls inside the beanbag, I don’t feel there is enough to fill it. So I don’t know how many had fallen out in transit, but I could count more than 100 on the trail up to our flat. I feel mislead when purchasing this. It’s a messy job and not clearly stated that it self assembly. I really hope our niece likes this and it’s worth the aggravation of putting together and apologising to our neighbours for the mess caused by its delivery. I would love to know how that bag of beans is supposed to fill the entire bean bag. It’s saggy. See pics.

Lovely wee sofa but would be 5 stars if it had a liner so cover can be washed. Also brilliant if we didn't have to fill it when it arrived..it was easy to fill but still quite a lot of wastage.

The cushion cover was fantastic but…

The cushion cover was fantastic and well made, however, the inner pillow that we ordered extra didn’t really fill the cover, it was quite a bit smaller and don’t go to the corners

The bean bag itself is great

the bean bag itself is great, having to put the beans in ourselves - not so great. I don't know why the beans did not come already inside the bag and why we had to put them in ourselves. I cannot see the advantage shipping wise.

I like everything about it. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is that it is a little short of filling.

The bean bag itself is OK. However I didn't realise you had to make it yourself. For the price I expected the beans to be already in it. So, yes, beans were everywhere and it took awhile. A lining inside would have been great. Overall, not sure it was worth the price tag though my son likes it.

Lovely bean bag, arrived quickly

The bean bag and footstool arrived quickly and are lovely, but the white zipped lining confused me and it look three emails to the help centre to get the explanation that it's meant to be used as a funnel. That said, the responses were very prompt and polite, and it makes more sense when you open the beanbag, just think the instructions could be a bit clearer, especially as they tell you to do the footstool first.

Happy customer, eventually.

We bought a beanbag for our grandson. It arrived promptly but there were not enough beans to fill the bag. However, after an email, more beans were quickly sent with an apology. Now the bag looks terrific and is very comfortable, can't wait to give it my grandson.

The bean bag is fantastic. It is great quality and my daughter loves it. The only reason it I gave it for Starrs instead of five is because you have to build it yourself. There were beans everywhere!

It was easy and quick. The only issue was that for some reason we could not order from Ireland and get delivered to UK. Family in UK had to buy and get it delivered.
