It is oak, and it indeed belongs to me and resides in the smoking room. My father brought it back from one of the dilapidated houses on the homestead in Arkansas somewhere around 20 years ago. It was in horrible shape, so he completely refinished it. As far as $$ value the refinishing most likely reduced it significnatly.....but, on the other hand, that is exactly what makes it priceless to me. I'm trying to find more information on it's possible age, origin, and how it got into the family.

As for the comfort factor....you'd probably be surprised. It's not all that bad. That's a feather mattress on it, so it has to be fluffed to distribute the feathers when you first fold it out, but it is definitely comfortable enough for a nap.....if you're under 6' that is.
