the cost of beans…

So we’re nearing the end of the basement playroom remodel and I’m starting to think about what we’re actually going to put IN the room after all the hellishness of construction is said and done. And what’s a playroom without some sort of beanbag? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s a room with $700 to spend on something else, that’s what it is. I first thought I’d just make a couple but then thought, “there should be a ton of these out there — save yourself the grief.” Ha.

So I trolled around and found various “meh” beanbags but my first love was the Fatboy. They have great colors but I was really looking for more of a box-type cushion and the only one of those they have is round. And large. And $230. Which is expensive but, turns out, not really super out of the ballpark.

Next we hit upon Sumo Lounge — ok colors, great price, structure is still too floppy.

Which brings us to Eazy Bean. They have great colors, lots o’ cushion styles including my favorite, this 3′ square one but oh, there’s a catch. To the tune of $685. What?! For a damned bean bag?! Sit on the floor, kid…
