First, the good. The bed is very pretty assembled and is comfortable due to the mattress.  It's easy to get down.

Now, the bad. It was HARD to assemble. The instructions were a bit confusing at times and it definitely took a while. Second, it won't stay down without AT LEAST a 60 lb. mattress. We purchased a mattress that Wayfair recommended and it was only 35 lbs. This means that every time someone gets off the bed (middle of the night bathroom trip), the bed folds up. I put a couple of weights on the bed legs and that helped. This was my first experience with a Murphy Bed, so maybe they are all made this way. I was just shocked at the amount of weight needed to keep it on the floor.
