This beanbag we bought for our little daughter for Christmas. The processing of the bag is very good, the filling somewhat coarse. This is probably of small shredded Styrofoam from packaging material. Basically does this function not detract, though you sit comfortably. So absolutely recommended for the price. An original Fatboy came to us out of the question because we were not ready spend the almost five times the price for a beanbag. Oh yes, the filling was not a problem and completed within about 10 minutes. However, one should be your partner.
