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.

Poor practice

To my suprise. I receievd 2 items, one piece of fabric and the second a huge plastic bag of polystyrene balls. For the price i presume it would arrive as a whole. To manually attempt to insert the balls with a toddler in your space is extremely dangerous and very bad practice. The bag the polystyrene balls came in was ridiculously big. The thought of the consumer has not been consider it seems.

Disappointing

Sadly, the sofa did not keep its shape as in the website pictures. I am a small adult (5'2") and slim, but there was very little room to be comfortable on the sofa. As it was not advertised as a children's sofa I was very disappointed. I gave it to my 8 year old granddaughter.

Sorry to hear this. You ordered cover only; if the sofa is not keeping the shape, it could be an issue with the amount of filling used for the item. The measurements for the sofa are stated online but we can check this for you. Please send us a photo at sales@bigberthaoriginal.com

Hard to fill. It’s a 3 person job as they go everywhere. Shd come with beads in already. Beads shouldn’t be loose they shd be in a cloth bag that you just insert like other companies. zip very temperamental. Quite cheap fabric

Not nearly enough filling.

Delivered quickly and efficiently, however, there was insufficient filler - approximately half of what was needed. I had to buy more from another source and was therefore not able to use the settee until it was sorted.

The company describes and called this big Bertha. not really that did. now fair enough they do state sizes in the website. but overall not super happy. would go elsewhere next time. built quality is mediocre at best.

Rip off delivery charge

I paid £25 for my mattress to be delivered the next day between 7am & 10am. It finally arrived at 4pm after several confusing updates saying it wouldnt be delivered until the next day. Absolute rubbish service!!

There are not enough beans to give the shape of the sofa that appears in the adverts. Within a day or two it's lost shape and looks like a saggy mess. The upside is the dogs love it.

The pull on the zip was missing and a yellow paper clip put in its place. Not happy. I wrote to customer services and received no response.

When you spend that much on bean bag for a very young child you would expect it to arrive ready made and not have to put together yourself

The bean bag is much smaller than the pictures suggest. There are not enough beans for the bag or the poof.

Tell people the beans come in a separate bag and you have to fill the product yourself
