When I received the box, the box was extremely heavy. I thought that this beanbag chair was gonna be very small because of how small the box was, but once opened and everything aired out, it is actually pretty big. I do not like the brown leather/plastic outer layer (I am not sure what it is) of the beanbag chair. It is very wrinkly. The instructions say to use a steamer, but I do not have that. I do not think that it is going to get smooth at all. It also has a very strong smell, I am hoping that that would go away soon. But besides that I love it and so does my son, he actually took it. It is very comfortable and soft. The back of the beanbag is supportive. Overall, it is a good purchase.
