They CAN be, they can also be stupid expensive (like these), these chairs are like putting 64GB of RAM in a PC using a 7700k, a pointless waste of money, because you could have bought something a third the price (gone with 16GB in this analogy) and still been perfectly fine without giving up much. 38 minutes ago, nicklmg said: I think you may have hit the nail on the head with "something I see no value in." If you're only looking at it as "that thing that my dimwitted college friend had in their dorm that spilled beans wherever he/she went," then it's tough to see past the stereotype that you're imposing on a product. There are many things in life that some will grow out of and others will continue for years or maybe even for their whole lives. I think this is one of those things - it's not for you, but that doesn't mean that someone has to be immature or "in a phase" to have a beanbag chair in their house. And if you look at it as a piece of furniture - which it is - then a couple hundred bucks is actually very, very reasonable. I spent literally thousands of dollars on a few pieces of furniture for my place last year. It's insane, but if you want something that will last you have to pay primo prices. I'd say it's more like buying a Logitech mouse over a MadCatz mouse than a Mac vs PC - both serve exactly the same purpose, just one is from a better seller, is probably designed better, and is likely to last as long as you need it to. Believe me I know just how expensive furnishing is, I did my living room in the last year as well. I'm also in the process of a full remodel (hence the stud framed wall in the backdrop) so I am well aware that these are a big step up from the 20 dollar crap bags you find at Walmart, but are they really all that much better then the 100-200 dollar price range bags to justify being 3-4 times that price at the retail level? I spent 1,200 on the sofas and 700 on the leather chair and like 300 on the coffee table. The Green recliner was a hand me down that I have passed on to someone else once I bought my furniture.

Posted June 21, 2017 20 minutes ago, nicklmg said: That's a sick table! Nice pieces overall. Yeah like I said I certainly feel your pain there I considered trying to convert the top middle section (open area under the glass) into a sorta DIY Desk PC inspired build by closing in the sides, but in the middle of the room it's not practical, especially since I have plans for VR down the road and I would have to slide it out of the way every time. Also I just checked, it was actually 200, not 300, but it was also the most time consuming thing to assemble, I did several kitchen cabinets and my Ikea Pax system (bedroom closet, pictured here, remember construction zone, previously space was used by a preteen girl, hence the colors on the wall) went together faster.

I know Amazon sometimes reports list prices that are never actually used (there's always some discount or another according to them), but technically they just claim to have a ridiculous deal on something as expensive as LTT's offer (quality comparisons aside - I have no clue about bean bag chairs nor about these particular models).
