It's exactly what I thought I was getting - I worried it would seem bulky, but it doesn't.  The teal color is more on the green side than blue, but pretty.  It sits comfortably as a chair as long as you have a pillow at your back (and a same-fabric pillow is included). As a bed, it is VERY firm (but says so in the description).  I will probably have to put something on it to soften it for my guests.  I like it!
