I shopped for a Murphy or chest bed for a long time and read tons of reviews, finally settling on this one.  We were not disappointed.  This is a solid, well made and designed piece of furniture.  I am a small woman and can open/set it up myself but admit it is easier with 2 people. FOLLOW THE SET UP DIRECTIONS!  The mattress is very comfortable and we did not notice a lingering strong odor (other reviews mentioned this.) The bed arrived screwed on a pallet which had to be removed. You will need 2 strong people to lay it down to remove the pallet as well as get it into your home. The bed was extremely well packaged to avoid damage and did arrive without any dings or dents.  I suggest unpacking it in the garage or outside so you don’t get styrofoam and packing debris all over your room.  The delivery team did an excellent job communicating with us and were professional the whole time.  They wore masks and were very polite and helpful.
