The Murphy bed kit is well-made and complete. The best feature are the two installation manuals that guide you step by step. To do this project you will need, good tools, especially a table saw or circular saw with a straight guide, quality lumber, space to lay out the work and materials, and time, lots of time. This is not a weekend build project if you want to look professional and work correctly. The directions are really good, just take your time to triple-check the measurements. If you notice in the pictures we have the install manuals on our worktop. We used a high-quality cabinet paint and a cheap paint sprayer and it turned out fantastic. The cost of materials is a real shock when starting this project, coming in at around $500 just for the stain-grade plywood and frame materials. However, this Murphy bed will last 10-20 years and can be unassembled and moved. Win-Win! The true test is when your company sleeps on it and they slept well, the cabinet made no creaking noises and felt solid. Thriple win!

Was fairly easy to do but need to stick to the measurements given

Quality product at a fair price. Easily adjustable as my Murphy Bed did not originally have this style of legs. Instructions were clear and concise. Easy to follow and really appreciated the pattern that they included to make insulation and or measurements easier to do, this insured a smooth installation process. I greatly appreciate it would highly recommend this product.

It was nice have set instructions for this build. Please note there are typos in the instructions and the biggest issue for me was the nylon spacers. Thank you to the other person in the reviews that mentioned it. We had to shave/ sand down our spacers by half the size otherwise it will cause the outer frame to bow out and warp like crazy. I am happy with the end result but it took us a few days to realize it was the spacers that cause the frame to warp. Another thing that I can’t seem to figure out is that our bed frame doesn’t close all the way. I need to add a latch at the top to keep it 100% close. I’m not sure if it’s the suspension or what but it just doesn’t close. I know that it’s not the bed stoppers since we tried taking it out.

The bed went together pretty well, though the instuction leave a lot to be desired as far as information, but the hardware has proven to be far too weak for the gas pistons. The mounting plates for the top and bottom pivot points are made of mild steel that is too thin, and they have bent over just a few uses (see photo, the mount should be at 90 degrees to the wall/frame), to the point where the bed no longer closes properly (because the pistons, when fully extended aren't pushing far enough). It would have been great to know this prior to spending many hours building the bed, as I would have returned it or made modifications to strengthen the plates. As it is now, with no possibility to return a faulty product that failed outside of the "return window" we're having to fabricate new brackets out of a thicker hardened steel, and that puys it out of commission and adds many more hours and dollars to an incredibly frustrating and increasingly expensive project. It is also important to note that the pistons are mounted corrrctly, and the bending is not due to bottoming out the pistons, they still have at least an inch of travel left in the open position.
