This is shown as a fix for limited space in an Rv but I like it for a bedroom. Easy way to make a headboard and I love the pockets. I would have a lot more of them for the remote, book or kindle, reading glasses and you could even have a bottle of water for when you wake up thirsty in the night in a pocket. If you have a small room and no where to put a night stand this is perfect.
