tiny room terrible tv reception

I was frustrated! the room was tiny. It felt smaller than advertised. there was barely any space to move around, and i kept bumping into things. plus, the tv reception was terrible. The picture kept breaking up. the small sofa was also quite uncomfortable, made relaxing in the room difficult.
