Ask for beads, get beads, any questions?
Online reviews never cease to amaze me. Having read the previous on this item, it was certainly confusing and I am compelled to comment. As I am sure most are like me, looking to refill a bean bag or similar item and are not bead experts, so this may help. When first looking for "beans" you quickly find out that there is more to decide than expected. Nothing that a quick internet search does not clear up. There are actually different kinds of beads (pure, recycled, foam, etc), there is a broad spectrum on the internet and most with high shipping costs. These beads will arrive in a box and that is it. I am not sure what one might expect. It was interest to think: 1, order box of beads, 2. receive box of beads, 3. ship back box of beads in outrage because it was simply a box of beads . . .
TO BE CLEAR, this item is as advertised, you will receive as stated: 2 cubes (cubic feet) in volume of PURE BEAD. Google it if you are unsure what that is. I refilled one medium sized bean bag and ordered a 2nd box to fill another one. The beans are good quality and I actually think i ended up with a slightly overstuffed bag. Anyway, a tip to help, don't open the box in the normal manner (cutting the tape) as it is indeed what you order, a box of beads. Cut an approximately 4 inch "door" at one of the corners when you are ready to pour the beads and they pour very easily.
