A lot of the images of these chairs show them standing upright, with a child or adult comfortably leaning into them. I've just received two junior Fatboys ordered online, and I can tell you there is no way you can position this so it sits solidly upright, such that a child can lean into it. Unless you place it against a wall, but that's not how it's shown anywhere on the promotional pictures. You'll notice none of them show the chair in profile with a person sitting in it, because that would give the game away.Another negative is that after 12-18 months of usage you need to refill the chairs as the beads inside settle. The filling costs $50 for a half bag, and $100 for a full size. Do you really want to be making that kind of regular investment in a beanbag that was expensive to begin with?
My children are two and three years old, so it's not like they're too big for the junior chair.
We're now stuck with two oversize pillows on the ground. These are not chairs.
Its fabric covering is made of some sort of very tough, very slick synthetic fiber fabric.
It feels like it won't break, stain or damage easily.
Unfortunately, we wanted a bean bag chair with a more traditional warm and soft covering. The Fatboy is definitely not a snuggly bean bag chair, so we had to return it.
It's probably a great choice for customers who aren't looking for that snuggly quality, however.I love love love these bean bags for my kids playroom! They are so durable and certainly better quailty than the typical beanbags that you find elsewhere. With the Fatboy I don't have to worry about spills or the seams pulling apart on the bags.
