The bed is beautiful and the mattress is comfortable. It folds out very easily. As a desk it works fine for me. The only problem I had was the hardware was not in  any of the 4 boxes. The instructions to get the hardware was difficult to understand as I had to go back and forth numerous times between the Furniture Company and Wayfair . But all of the representatives were very kind and patient with me. I would recommend this piece of furniture!
