If you are looking for a Murphy bed,  this is a great choice! It is well made, solid and works great as alternative for guests.  The mattress seems comfortable and is covered so the 3 pieces are linked for folding up or out. The whole unit is very heavy as it is solid rubberwood, every bit 320 pounds. So we recommend, minimally,  delivery into the selected room.  It took us 2 1/2 hours to unpack and assemble; directions and ease were top notch. We did use our own tools over allen wrenches supplied as there are some close spots to work screws into. It will be used later this week by our visiting daughter.
