It looks just like the picture. The mattress is very comfortable. It was a bit firm at first, but it softened over a couple of weeks. It was a challenge to put together. Even the instructions have a warning that the assembly requires two people. Also, the boxes didn't arrive at once. Two of the boxes arrived together, but the third box didn't arrive for a couple of days afterwards which was a little disappointing. Additionally, the wrong mattress was delivered (it was black instead of navy).  However, Wayfair had excellent customer service and helped to correct the mistake right away. Now I am just not sure what to do with an extra futon mattress. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product.
