Apparently the legendary Castro Convertibles has come back from the dead with an ottoman bed: http://castroconvertiblesusa.com/page.asp?content_id=22677

I'm thinking of getting one for my new living room, so that I can have the sofa I love instead of a kludgy sofabed, yet still have a super-comfy place for my Mom to sleep when she comes. The Castro looks well-built, for $500 on Amazon. Carlyle offers an "ottobed" too, starting at twice the price. Does anyone have any experience with any of these?

A stack of Dixie 3 oz. paper bathroom cups fits almost-perfectly in the cup holder. (If they're wobbly, put a small heavy traditional shot glass in upside-down first to support them).

Peeves --

* Open kitchens (I don't want my dinner guests staring at the dirty pots)

* Humongous "ottomans" that are supposed to double as coffee tables, guest beds, etc.

* Wine fridges (really, now, what do you keep in there that you couldn't just walk ten minutes and buy when you need it?)

* Vessel sinks

* Stall showers instead of bathtubs

* Laminate floors

* Stainless steel appliances

* High-maintenance countertops
