This is great for additional sleeping space. In our rec room and our guest found it to be very comfortable. I did add a 2" memory foam mattress on top of the mattress that was included for extra comfort. Very sturdy and very heavy. When closed it looks just like a simple cabinet. Not difficult for my husband and myself to put together. Took us about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish, although we have had some experience with some IKEA furniture. This was actually easier and the quality is far superior to anything IKEA.  I would definitely recommend this if you are in need of extra sleeping space, but don't want a bed to be the predominant item in the room 24/7.
