This chair looks good in my office, and will serve as a great guest bed for the 9-year-old grandchild when he comes to visit (and his parents take over the guest room). So, in those respects, it is perfect. But, my husband encountered some difficulty in assembling it, and it catches when trying to pull it out to set it up for sleeping, so I need my husband's help. Also, the cushioning is not very plush, so I did purchase a mattress topper, which needs to be trimmed a bit to fit on the sides as it's a little too wide. All in all, it's still a better solution than a rollaway bed that has to be stored in a closet, as it provides seating in my office.
