This has been a great find for a tiny beach house.  The back of the unit had a crack which I didn't realize would be seen once bed was opened up. We needed to use it immediately so I didn't go thru a return process. This is a very heavy piece!  We found this to be so much better than a standard Murphy bed- no windows were obstructed by a wall unit. I would recommend - we purchased the unit in white and are very happy.
