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.
The product is nice but you have to fill it yourself, which I did not expect, especially because it is not cheap. It is impossible to fill it without spilling some beans, which go everywhere. I expected the bag to be double walled but it is not. Let's see how long it lasts...

Great end product but quite ridiculous expecting the customer to fill the lounger with loose polystyrene balls. Other lounger beanbags come pre filled. Filling each one took two people, quite a lot of time and weeks later we are still hoovering up stray balls.

Easy to order, arrives on time would have been 5 stars if they could package the replacement beans in a bag that doesn’t result in a high portion of the beans ending up all over the floor. Very difficult to fill. Once it’s done a great product

OK but zip and fluff let it down
Managed to fill sofa ok with beads but was dissappointed with the zip, a proper zip pull would have been a lot easier than a bent paper clip, also a lot of fluff coming off cover. Altogether not the quality I was expecting.

I like the finished product.
However a month in and I'm still hoovering up the odd polystyrene type innards.
Honestly I would rather pay more than endure having to stuff the seemingly abyss whose holes weren't wide enough.

They had a problem delivering my order, this was the fault of Evri, they were quick to respond to my query and communicated quickly
I did receive a full refund and I would use them again if they could guarantee delivery

Quality product ! Did not like the fact we had to fill beanbag up ourselves ! Maybe if we were made aware before purchase, I probably would have still ordered, but felt better about the purchase.

‘LARGE’ ????
I ordered a large footstool. The quality of the fabric was nice but if that was large I wouldn’t like to see small and I also didn’t appreciate it hasn’t been filled and you’ve to do it yourself.

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.

It’s a great product , the only thing is
It’s a great product , but I didn’t know the filling and cover is coming in the same box , but separated. I understand it helps to saves space in the box , but it was not easy to fill in 🙈

Filling the beanbag was a little tricky and time consuming! (And messy) we used a jug in the end which worked, but it took a long time. Happy with it now it's filled up! Daughter loves it.

Bean bag was awkward to fill and beans escaped all over the room, static stuck them to plastic bag making hard to get out. Would be better and have less plastic waste if delivered filled.

I thought the quality of product was ok but not great.
I thought the quality of product was not a great deal at full price. Probably ok value for money worth 50% off.
The product is ok, basic cushion cover and a bag of polystyrene beads.

Great product but no where near enough filling. Had to buy more to make it keep some shape. Provided two bags of beans. Could easily take four of those and it would still be loose.

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

My little girl is delighted with the chair, and it is good quality. However assembling it really is difficult, particularly if you don't have easy access to another adult to help!

Filling is a nightmare
The beanbag is of good quality but doesn't come "assembled." You have to add the styrofoam balls to an empty sack and it's not easy! We had styrofoam balls all over the house.

Did not realize you had to fill your own bag with the beads supplied!
What a mess with beads all over house. Should have been filled at warehouse not in customer's home.

The product is as advertised. They are a good size for my boys who are 60+ inches tall. There are enough beans for the inside, the covers are soft, and nicely colored.
