This piece of furniture is going to serve the purpose of having a multi purpose room. We have ours in a 10x10 room so it is quite imposing in a small space. We used it as soon as it was assembled, and we found tge mattress to be quite comfortable. The only issue I have is that tge drawers have to be pulled across the floor to open in as it sits flat on the floor. We have carpet and will not use it that often, but it may scratch wood floors.
