HUGE! Beware of the SIZE you order!!! KIDS LOVE THEM!!!
Prepare for a GIGGLE or TWO.... I ordered TWO of these.... XXL no problem I thought. I've seen beanbags in other stores that said they were XL or XXL... So these just look like those but maybe a little bigger once they fluff up.... NOPE not these! We have a decent size game room/tv room and thought these would work perfect in there from all the reviews I was reading so I measured the spaces I wanted to fit something up to 7 ft.... I had the space so I pushed the submit button and ordered! A few days later, I got a text on my phone from UPS ( I have that service I do a lot of online ordering!) that said they were delivering the Amazon order today.... OK no problem so I vaccumed the room so when they arrived I could get them plumping.... Ready for your laugh? My regular UPS driver whom is a woman and usually in a great mood -- rang the doorbell.... She had driven all the way up my driveway by the garage. ( It opens to the left side of my home )...She normally only does this with extremely LARGE or HEAVY boxes so we can slide them in the garage and I can get help opening them or moving the items where I want in the house. Needless to say, she didn't look like a happy camper today and said, "Come On"... When we got to her truck and she opened the back door.... Wait for it,,, Wait for it... One of the boxes had opened up and this thing had already exploded in her truck to its FULL SIZE....blocking EVERYTHING in its path and was expanding into the shelves and wedged itself in there..... LOL OMG... She got in her truck... Climbed OVER the beanbag and said PULL.... We pulled and pushed for what seemed like 30 to 45 mins getting this sucker out of her truck.... Now you do realize how LARGE those BROWN UPS TRUCK ARE RIGHT? Just imagine one of these things all PUFFED up in her truck with all her other packages.... I could not help but laugh and I pee'd my pants... REALLY!!! It was the funniest thing you ever had seen. If one of my girls was home we surely would have made a YouTube video of this process. Ok once we got the bag out and pushed it on the driveway.... She rolled the other HUGE box out and said... PLEASE don't order anything like that again.... laughed and drove off.. Now I had to get this sucker in the house by myself... No one else was home... How was I going to do this... Yes I have a doorway from inside my garage into the house, so I backed my car out and pulled and shoved and pulled that bag to the door... I went around the front to come in through the house and open that door to the garage.... and its HEAVY people even out of the box this thing is heavy... I looked at this exploded item blocking the door thinking there is no way I'm going to get this in the door. I pulled and squeeezed and squished and I almost had it a 1/4 way in and it just got STUCK.... it filled the entire doorway... it was not coming in anymore... so I left it there... LOL Waited for help to arrive. Late that evening my son came home from college and I called him to come over as me and my girls just could not get it through the door and he pushed and jumped on it and we did this for about an hour when finally it came on it.... We slide it around corners and into the game room/ tv room which thank goodness does not have a doorway only a huge opening to it... and put it is the space I wanted it to go... OMG... what I thought was a NO PROBLEM SPACE... it took up the entire wall........ it is HUGE.... very comfy and the kids love it but it is massive people.... I still have the other one still in its box and we have tapped the crap out of it so it won't pop open. I have NO IDEA what I'm going to do with it.... there is NO way my UPS driver will be coming back to pick it up... I know she won't so a return is out of the question.... I guess I can sell it on CraigsList if I decide not to keep it or maybe I can give it as a gift to someone who I really don't like... LOL As for the bag itself... It's everything it says it is.... Very comfy, you can Lay on it longways for a couchbed or turn it and sit in it like a huge chair... it's very soft and when you ROLL OUT OF IT like I did just to get out of it... it pops right back to this HUGE looking ball circle against my wall... I should take a picture.... To be honest the girl in picture on Amazon and even the one with the TWO sitting on it...must be a smaller size, maybe just the XL one.. because this XXL one in my personal opinion is a LOT larger than that.... Well beware of the size you order is all I say.... Expect it to be a bit larger than what you measure once it plumps up and if you live in an apartment.... DO NOT order this sucker for anything other than your living room COUCH.... Seriously... and that is if you can get it through the door. I was thinking if I ever have to move this out... I'll open it up and remove all the stuffing in hundred of trashbags and then reasemble at it's destination... that is in reality the only way this thing is moving it is just so big... Goood luck and I hope you UPS driver has a good sense of humor if your box breaks... Have a great day at Amazon!
