I dont like this room , it is crammed with stuff.

thanks a bunch
I think Crammed is more correct in this usage.
"Crammed" means overfilled.
But 'crammed' is properly a verb and not an adjective. The sentence is understandable the way it is, but it might be better to say, "I don't like this room, it has been crammed with stuff" or "it has been crammed full of stuff" Or better yet to just say "It is full of stuff".
"Cramped" implies a handicap or injury. But you might say "This room is cramped (for space)", meaning, the room is handicapped because of lack of space.
This roomed is cramped because it has been crammed full of stuff.
Cramped is what my wife gets by herself.
Crammed is when I'm with her.
