The wicker seat slides down on its base so that its almost flat like a bed. Its for a room we dont use much but had I wanted it for a room we sit in a lot, it wouldve been not at all suited for that. Not sure if its worth the price or not. Kind of disappointed in its lack of practicality but it does look pretty. 

Update: less than a year and after hardly ever sitting on this, one of the main bars across the bottom snapped when a 165lb adult sat in it. Wayfair was very helpful with us as soon as we let them know.
