Clever design in a small space. Clean and comfortable. Nice touch having the double blind so you can choose how much light you want. Two issues, the TV turned itself on 6 times in the night - clearly an electrical issue which was resolved the following day and the lights turned themselves off after about 15 minutes which was annoying
