The bed looks great in person. The mattress is comfortable and firm, no additional topper needed. Easy set up but the shipping packaging wad an issue. I understand why they added the wood stand but they used rusted nails and one of the nails was broken when received. So now I have a sharp nail just sticking out the bottom of my murphy bed. The bottoms is scratched up and there is a hole in the wood on top of the bed like the wood had worms.
