The cubicle "is a modular bedroom, composed of a steel frame and laminate wood panel. It is roughly 7 feet by 6 feet, with privacy walls, and features a single bed, a pull-out storage shelf, and, priceless for a homeless person, a locked closet to secure belongings... In appearance, the blond cubicle is clean, seamless, well-engineered, and resembles something that popped out of an IKEA box."
