The color (teal) is wonderful and bright.  It was very easy to assemble and it arrived quickly.  It looks very good in the room among other furniture.  Using the pillow as a backrest it is comfortable to sit in.  As other reviews noted, it needs a mattress topper to be comfortable as a bed.  In fact, it needs a very good mattress topper.  I'm going to shop for a better mattress topper.  My overnight guest could still feel the bars through the standard roll-up foam topper I bought.  This is a satisfactory and useful purchase for the price.
