We purchased this for our guest bedroom which is more often than not used as a workout room. We wanted a real bed that guest could use when needed. It was relatively easy to put together. However, I would recommend some type of power drill as the hinges for the pull out frame were not able to be screwed in by hand. We did a little test run by laying on it after it was fully put together. It seems very comfortable but a full nights sleep test run has not yet been accomplished. When stashed away it really does look like a dresser. In addition, having the bottom drawer actually be a drawer is an added bonus. It is great for storing the bedding.
