First of all, this is so pretty! I got it in light blue, and it's lovely. The fabric is synthetic but looks and feels like suede. In both size and construction, this is a substantial piece of furniture: it's neither flimsy nor poorly constructed, and seems to be up to the task of supporting a full-size adult (I haven't used it as a bed yet; hence the qualifier). As others have mentioned, it is VERY firm, which is great for sitting but not so much for sleeping; an egg-crate or foam pad provides a good fix. I think it's a bit overpriced at $500+, but if you can find it on sale, go for it.
