Who doesn't love a 5 ft tall blow-up monkey?
"George" was a hit at our 3 yr old's birthday party

Cute but did not hold air!
Just as some other reviews state that this product did not hold air, i found it to be true with me as well. Despite the other mixed reviews I thought I would take my chances and hopefully get a monkey that held air. Not to my suprise, about 5 mins after blowing the product up it deflated to about 50%. I am sorry but until this company fixes their product I could not recommend purchasing this product due to the fact that it does deflate QUICKLY! Although the actual look of the monkey (when completely inflated) does look super cute and it's a GREAT size, it's just not worth it if it does not stay inflated.

So Disappointing!
I LOVE the idea of this, and it's always a huge hit (for a short time) at our food truck events. The problem is that the manufacturer really skimps on quality. We've gone through 4 of these and none has lasted more than an hour. Oriental Trading was fantastic about exchanging them, but unfortunately great customer service doesn't ensure great quality.
I'd gladly give it another try if a different company started making them!

Monkey would not hold air
We bought the blow up monkey as a fun surprise to put outside my son's bedroom with some balloons. We inflated him but he would not hold air. It had a rather large hole which we tried to tape up, but the thing never did hold air.
Very disappointing as there is not much you can do about it when you are putting it as a morning birthday surprise.

Would have been a good purchase except it had a hole in it
My daughter was really looking forward to having this monkey at her party. Today we took it out and aired it up only to have it deflate in a matter of minutes.
This purchase was a big disappointment and a waste of my 16 year old's birthday money.

This product would not hold air.
This inflatable product would not hold air. I inflated it and within a couple of minutes, it deflated. I could not find any holes. This was supposed to be the focus of my 8 year old daughter's birthday party decorations and came out of the box unusable. She was very disappointed. In addition, this was not the only inflatable product that would not hold air from this delivery. I would like my money back and would hope you make efforts to avoid issues like this in the future.
The attached photo shows the deflating monkey within a few minutes following initial inflation.

It arrived. I blew it up. Then it kept deflating. There was a hole in it.

Looks cute, doesn't last
The kids loved it for the 5 minutes it stayed inflated. Loses air almost immediately. Bah Humbug!

So Disappointed!
I wanted to LOVE this product, I really did. It's adorable, kids would have flipped for this, AND it fit so perfectly with our "Wild About Saving" youth celebration. I ordered one for each of our two offices. Both had leaks in the seams and would not inflate. I called Oriental Trading, who were very polite and obliging, and I decided to try two more in exchange. However, when these two arrived, they also had leaks in the seams. Hopefully the manufacturer will go back to their original quality control, because according to older reviews, this product use to be a HUGE hit. Now it's just a huge let-down. To be fair, though, this one, unfortunate purchase will not affect our future purchases. We'll be sending the monkeys back, but remaining a satisfied customer.
