A word of caution; Functional, stylish, and space saving they may be. They all absolutely lack back support however and can be very uncomfortable for some people to sit for long periods of time.

I have cube-ish storage ottomans serving as seating at my dining table in my studio apartment, and they would not work for sitting at if they were not against the wall for back support. Although I keep thinking one of these days I will try to combine them with a hardback stadium seat for when I need them to come off the wall.

I always wonder whether beds like these are truly worth it, given the nature of many small space apartment layouts requiring the bed be right up against a side of a wall. One side of the shelves would be sealed off essentially.

I would think maybe a large trundle setup (without the extra mattress) be a more feasible option for storage or a regular bed with a bed-skirt and some bins that fit under be better value. I suppose using the drawers on the other side for some other DIY could also be worth the value.

Pilot light is out in apartment's wall heater. Went out in winter and it's summer now, still haven't dealt with it.
