Consumerism Commentary: Sumo Lounge: Not Your Average Beanbag Chair

  • thomas · 2 years ago
    we have something similiar in our office. It's kind of comfy, but the cover came off and it's impossible to put back on.

    That must have been the dream article to write. Free furniture AND an excuse to link to Playboy bunnies - what a win-win!

    I gotta admit, I'm enjoying the furniture. I can't wait to give one away... hopefully early next week if I can think of an entertaining contest.

    If I had this chair, from the way you describe it and how comfy it looks, I would probably use it as my bed instead of my old old matress!!!

    Hmm, I think my toddler would love this. We have mostly IKEA furniture - the higher-end stuff that more expensive and it's held up really well (most of it is now 10+ years old and looks great). The funny thing is, my brother-in-law really looks up to my husband (who's four years older) and has almost exactly the same pieces. IKEA no longer sells a large wardrobe that we had, and we needed to move it out of the house to make room for our second child. My brother-in-law was sooooo happy to get it!

    My only problem with SumoLounge: SERVICE.

    I have two of their Omni Bean bag chairs. The first one blew a seam within the first 10 months, and I inquired in April 08 via e-mail about the stated 2-year warranty. A Sumo staff member, Andrew Milligan, e-mailed me in June 08, and instructed me to discard the defective bag, stating I would receive a replacement. Well, despite four more e-mails and one letter-mail to Sumo, I have still not received any replacement, response, or further acknowledgement of my correspondence.

    I just want a leaky bag, under warranty, replaced.

    My advice: until and unless Sumo will stand behind their warranty (or at least have the decency to reply about a problem), I think you are better off paying a little more for their competitor's product.
