The bed will be great in the guest room, which is an office when the bed is closed. It took two handymen 4 hours to build. There were some broken parts (4 slat holders, a slat) and a ding on the door that is visible when the bed is closed. We are using a 10 inch mattress that is about 50 pounds. The mattress slips down when the bed is put up so we might try Velcro as suggested in another review.
