This is a real piece of furniture. It is heavy and made of real wood. I am happy to have it visible in my house. We wanted a real bed that does not take up real bed space and I love that the castors allow me to move it between rooms. We have not yet slept on it. I am giving it four stars, because the furniture part is great and deserves five. The mattress, while seems like it will be comfortable, is thinner than most modern mattresses and may be hard to find good sheets for. Regular queen sheets will fit, I'm sure, but the pockets will probably be a bit deep for it.
