Inflatable Bubble Ottoman - Ocean Blue

Product is not 26x26x17.It used to be that size(26x26x17) with a weight limit of 175.Now it's a pathetic 23x23x13 with a paltry limit of 125.These used to be great all purpose items, but not anymore. . . well, unless you're a child or very small adult.Bubble Inflatables is being cheap and cutting corners and I don't like it.Take care of your old stock because they don't make them like they used to.That's even before the aesthetics of the new design. They used to have the seam, warning, and nozzle all on the same side so you could decorate with these better, but even that's flown out of the window.If you are looking for an ottoman with a low weight tolerance and is super low to the ground, then this will do you just right.If you were looking for a robust ottoman you could use with furniture you might already own, grab doc emmet brown or any random time lord.

First of all this thing is actually bigger than it looks on the package. It's about as big as an actual rigid ottoman would be. That's not a bad thing, but it's unlikely you'll be able to inflate this one without mechanical assistance. You really need an electrical air pump for this. It actually took me longer to inflate this than it did to inflate a simple twin size air mattress, and you really have to inflate it 'till it's very tight. The good thing is that it's actually made of very thick material and the seams are very strong. I don't see this getting accidentally punctured unless you're really trying to. It serves its purpose, but remember, this is not a rigid piece of furniture. It suffers from the standard drawbacks you'd expect from any inflatable furniture. A very heavy person probably won't be able to sit on it too comfortably and will feel like it's about to tip over any minute. If you want something to put your legs up on it's actually perfect. I wasn't all that happy with the clear look as it makes it look cheap, but if this bothers you it's pretty easy to make a simple fabric cover for it and most people won't be the wiser until they try to sit on it. Cant' say how well it holds up to repeated use as I've only tested it out for now, but it sure seems pretty solid.

We have a few different ottomans and they have all been holding up for a year, from outdoor uses to in our home. Easy seating to add to anywhere.

Read the instructions and carefully opened up after it was sitting at room temperature for over and hour. Struggled to get valve to accept air: niether with mouth or with proper tool on my Coleman electric pump. Had no way to contact the manufacture for advice.Quality of plastic seems tough and durable and color is great. Sad to have to return but have no choice since I could not inflate it.Another screwup by Chinese manufacturer.

If the item arrives defective, the company blames the customer and refuses to refund or exchange the defective item.
