This convertible chair looks and works great.  The adjustable back accommodates lying flat as well as varying degrees of sitting upright for reading or watching TV.  As a backup bed for guests, it works great -- comfortable enough for guests but at the same time not too comfortable to encourage "long" stays.   In other words, I don't recommend it for extended periods as a bed.   The one downside I have is that the chair's color is actually darker than it appears in the picture.  It is a true brown (not a light or chocolate brown its online picture would suggest).
