Ours takes up nearly all the usable wall space.

If you put a box on a 14' long wall that is 6' long by 6'-6" high by 18" deep all that is left is 4 feet on either side of the box that can't be used for much because when the bed is down the bi-folding Murphy bed doors take up 2' of the available 4' on each side.

However, we use ours every time we are in town and may be impacted by it more. Hopefully, when we are around more and have to use it less, it will cease to be an issue.
