Big Joe Milano Bean Bag Chair, Gray Plush, Soft Polyester, 2.5 feet

Needed to fix it, but my kids love it. I bought two of these chairs in white, here’s the good, the bad and the ugly:Cons:1) REALLY not filled enough. I had to buy more filler within a week of use and it’s only my 7 and 3 year old daughters (weight 50 lbs and 30 lbs) each sitting in their own chairs, not grownups or heavy people.2) Smelled a bit chemical when came out of the box but I left it outside on our screened-in deck and the smell lessened substantially (not completely) within 24 hours. It no longer smells bad.4) Refill material cost me $37 to plump up my brand new chairs ):3) No way to wash the cover. I would have liked if it could be removed to be washed occasionally.Pros:1) I solved the saggy, not-filled-enough problem by purchasing 10 lbs shredded memory foam for filling bean chairs (from a company on amazon) it worked WAY better than the beans. The foam perfectly filled my two Milano bean chairs, one 5lb bag in one, the other 5 lb bag in the other. Now the chairs are totally full, much better supported, and will hopefully remain so for a long time before I need to refill again.2) My kids LOVE the chairs. Love them. They are like giant fluffy bird nests and my daughters like to sit in them every day to look at books or relax. In fact, the reason I bought two was because I got one for our younger daughter but our older daughter loved it so much, I knew we needed a second one and ordered it that day.3) They look nice in our livingroom. They are for the kids but they look nice and add a cozy touch to the room, they make a cozy livingroom nook which is very inviting for the kids.4) The castle cut-out box playhouse was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the first chair’s box was beat up and we didn’t use it but the second chair’s box was perfect and we did cut it out (it’s actually perforated cardboard so it’s easy to do) and make the castle clubhouse, our 3 year old loves it. Our 7 year old is a bit bummed that her box wasn’t in good condition, but she’s a bit big for it anyway.5) Some reviewers mentioned shedding. They only shed the first couple of days, they don’t shed anymore, at least nothing noticeable (and I’m a pretty neat person who would notice something like that). They are not shedding on the rug they’re on nor on my kids’ clothes anymore.I would purchase this again only because my kids totally love them. That’s why I bought memory foam to plump them up rather than return. To be honest, without the foam, they’d probably be a pathetic heap of fluff in a couple of months since they didn’t seem full out of the box, and within a week they were noticeably sagging – again, that’s with only two light little girls sitting in them.

The chairs didn’t look filled all the way. I love the chairs, but wish I didn’t have to spend more money to put it together properly. I bought four chairs. Two blue ones look and feel like they are filled all the way. The two white furry ones look and feel like they needed more beans stuffed in them. I was looking for a way to contact the seller but couldn’t find it. So I ended up having to buy two bags of beans to fill them, which means I ended up spending $39 more for these chairs.

Perfect for a 3-5 year olds room. Great quality, vibrant color, and can support me while holding my 3 year old on my lap to read him books. He loves his chair! Also the box it comes in is designed to be cut into a play castle with shields. Brilliant.
