This bed is used in the office when guests stay with us. The bed is sturdy, and fairly comfy. You can't let children play on it as they may break the slats underneath the mattress.  We bought a memory foam bed topper. It's a little big, but it helps make it extra comfy. It is a narrow bed; my son (about 5'11'' 130lbs) was fine, but a bigger person may feel restricted. It did come with the wrong hardware. Easy to fix, but it shouldn't have happened. I read a few other reviews had the same issue.  It folds easily, and I've had no problem with the locking mechanism at the top. I made a nice cover for it out of a large piece of dark blue cloth.  :)
