It fit perfectly in the space we had (a reading nook in our son's bedroom) and a guest bed for when family visits. The grey color is sterile but attractive. I plan to accessorize with decorative pillows. The chair is comfortable: the back is adjustable so you can be seated upright or at an angle. I did subtract one star - the hidden metal "feet" can be felt beneath you when seated (they are located where the zipper is). Over time it became less noticeable. I have not had anyone sleep on the bed yet but my son loves to play on it with the cushions fully extended. I tried lying on it for a few minutes and could see myself sleeping on it. For this reason, I don't mind the black panel. The best part of this is the unbeatable price - we looked at similar models at 3-4X the cost.
