Thanks for this. I'm about to buy one of these kits for my new house. I'll be sure to use the affiliate link in the dibly-doo. Also, genius idea teaching the kid how to pickpocket. In this economy, you can never have too many streams of income.

I appreciated the entire video and the straightforward way you presented it. But my favorite part was the beautiful interaction with your children. You seem to be a wonderful family & amazing parents.

I think this is a great video. DIY, you kept it pretty direct and simple. I think we will be doing the same but changing a few things. Not much. We would like shelves on the front, to hold the decorative pillows and blankets, and act as the legs when we lower the bed for use. Great job!!

Thanks to your video I was able to get enough courage to build murphy bed. Took me about 2 weeks of working on it for couple of hours almost every day. Did few mistakes here and there but was able to fix the issues. It was really good experience and even thinking of building matching cabinets (I decorated the front face of the bed).

Thank you so much. I've watched several KZfaq videos on Murphy beds and I found this one the most comprehensive. The only annoying part was that I had to pause your video several times in order to convert your imperial measurements to the metric system.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely helped while I built mine. Does the top of your mattress rub the wall and headboard slightly when rotating to open/close? I noticed mine does that with a thicker mattress. The cabinet closes properly though

Great video! I’m about to build this myself. Quick question. Did you use any solid wood in your build or did you just stick with plywood the whole way? The instructions say to use solid wood on the inner bed frame part. I’d hate to buy extra wood if I don’t need it. Thanks again.

Hi!! I saw that you have a link to the hardware kit and saw there’s one for horizontal queen beds! Just wanted to ask if you know if the Horizontal queen bed from Lori wall beds would work well with the kit? It’s just too heavy for me to lift down on my own everyday and need a spring mechanism to help me

Did you remove the baseboard wall trim before installing the Murphy bed to the wall or leave it installed? If you left it installed did you have to notch out the wall baseboard trim shape from the bed cabinet side uprights? Thanks

@teresamarie8092 8 ай бұрын

I also wondered this or if you used trim width wood which was put behind where the anchors at the top . I also like the locking idea for children's safety. It looked nicely done.

The link to your blog goes to some spam. Are the legs substantial enough to hold two adults and a kid jumping on the bed? Also seems like it may dig onto the hardwood floors.

I would use slats instead of a flat piece of plywood for the mattress, might lighten the weight and allows the mattress to breathe.

There are a lot of variables in the price. Premium plywoods and paints will increase your cost significantly. I would say that you could spend anywhere from $400 - $600. We were somewhere in the middle. Thanks for watching!

Your local Hardware/lumber store can't and won't be able to cut these pieces. They don't have the equipment, and they can't guarantee that the cuts will be accurate. Their employees don't really care either, so having them do it is a horrible idea.
