This bed was purchased to provide visiting family and friends with a good night's sleep despite the very limited space in my condo.  I've slept on it for a week and it is great.  The assembly video was accurate and very helpful; a friend came over and we did the minimal assembly quickly.  One person can unfold the bed and fold it back up with ease.  The bed is a nice color and looks like (and is) solid furniture with clean lines.  The tri-fold mattress that came in a separate roll was easy to unpack, is easy to stow inside the bed before it's latched, and is quite comfortable.  I've been looking at murphy beds for a long time and feel that this was a worthwhile investment that will last for decades.
