I wonder if the Murphy bed can be lowered with the slide in, i.e. if one needs to overnight without extending slides. My guess is it could possibly be done as it is configured now, without a sofa opposite the bed. But if replacing the sofa to use with the home theatre, there may not be space to open the bed with the slides in.

I also wonder how much of an inconvenience it is for the sole bathroom to be in the rear. While one bathroom would be sufficient for us, if there is only one, I would think it would be preferable to have it in the middle.
