Hot, if it functions well.

Read the review on the site:

"Uncomfortable - No, I would not recommend this to a friend"
"Three words: JUNK,JUNK,JUNK."

It looks like it would totally flip over if you sat too close to the end of the chair

the proportions are inelegant and it has no decent shape to it. it's just all around ugly.

I've seen it in the store and while I like the fabric (it's a little darker than the picture), the cushion doesn't wear well. It looked alright new, but after a few months of customers trying it, it looked really cheap--especially when opened.

Badly designed. It doesn't look right.

It looks...okay. But for that amount of money ($250) you could get a really cool looking vintage chair AND an air mattress that is bound to be way more comfy for your guests. Your guests can then admire your thoughtfulness (in providing them with a comfy place to sleep) as well as your excellent taste!

i used to work at world market and always thought it was ugly... then i decided to test it out. after all, maybe it was really comfy and i just needed to give it a try!! nope, it was like a rock. i can't imagine wanting to lounge in it, let alone make someone sleep on it. PASS.

Definitely a step up from those ugly fold-out foam chairs of yore, but if it's not comfy, PASS!
