This is well-worth the price.  We've been looking for an attractive piece of furniture for our bedroom that would 1. serve as nice place to read by the window and 2. serve as a place my daughter(s) can sleep if we have overnight guests who need their rooms.  The chair is very roomy - actually larger than I thought - and is pretty sturdy.  We paid the extra $ to have it delivered to the room of our choice because this would have been very hard to get up steps.  Delivery was excellent.  The color is as depicted - a natural/linen.  I haven't slept on this yet but I do agree with another reviewer who mentioned that the top seems more elevated than the bottom.  It doesn't seem to go completely flat -  but that probably wouldn't matter, considering most of us use pillows to prop up our heads.  And it is important to keep in mind that this is a sleep chair - not meant for someone to sleep on daily.
