The components of the kit are good quality and the instructions are straightforward. Although I'm not great, I like wood working and I enjoyed building this. I did all the cutting myself. My advice is measure twice and on crown molding cutting a little longer is better than cutting too short. I added bookshelves and a fold out desk that took awhile to figure out. I'm still finishing it up. One thing I wish I did was stain it before assembly. My wife wasn't sure on the color and I got tired of waiting. The stain didn't come out like I'd hope and I may try again. Lesson learned. I used an 8" thick hybrid mattress and added led lighting. Highly recommend this kit if you want a Murphy bed at a fraction of the cost and like woodworking.

We were really not looking forward to this project, but knew we need to get it done. We looked at already assembled units, but couldn't wrap our heads around the cost. I studies many kits, but kept coming back to this one due to the overwhelming positive reviews.Happy to report this kit made the entire process manageable and provided step by step instructions from lumber purchases through the cuts to make and all the way through assembly. We could not be happier and the project boosted our confidence to a point we added some decorative effects and are now adding book shelves to either side. (picture of our not yet completed process)Highly recommend!

Play Video This product is very thorough and well thought out. This DIY project CAN be done quickly but it's best to take your time and read the instructions through before starting. The instruction booklets were great.

This is the third Murphy Bed my husband has installed. He says this kit is the best one he has used. It was easy to install, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the final product works great. We recommend it for people who like to do it themselves and need a bed that hides away.

I especially love the DIY booklets that came with this system, it was so easy for a beginner without any woodworking skills to follow. I used it to buy all of my wood, cut them and build the bed just the way I wanted it to be.

Play Video I really like the quality of this Murphy bed. As I was working on the cabinet in my front yard ( my driveway is not level, and my garage if full from a recent move) Many neighbors stopped by to see what I was up to.I was surprised by how many people want a murphy bed. I got a lot of questions about,"how easy is it". I replied, well easy is in the name. I do think this is a level 3 or 4 (on a scale of 5, with 1 being easiest) DIY project, if you are cutting boards yourself.And it is a level 2 or 3 project if you have the boards cut. So obviously the board cutting is the hardest part. The rest is fairly well spelled out in the 3 instructional booklets.Big sheets of plywood are not easily cut. If you are cutting sheets of plywood yourself, I suggest not using a table saw unless you are specifically set up for cutting large sheets. I built this first one cutting on my table saw.We will probably build two more. I'll be using a 4x8 table and a 2x4 metal wall stud clamped to my cutting material for a straight edge, next time (also, I will use my circular saw, so no need to run out and buy a table saw for this project, I know guys you are disappointed, but trust me you will thank me later). I think you can get a far straighter cut more accurately, and most importantly, more safely. Nothing about power saws is altogether safe, but more safely is fair.I found the assembly and construction stages to be relatively straight forward. The directions were good, and I did not have any back tracking. Nothing is more frustrating than building and assembly, only to find you have to take stuff apart. One key to my success here was measuring 3 times reading steps two times, and cutting or drilling once.Some of my cuts ended up a 16th or so, too small. I was worried, but the fit and finish were still great. I did find out my miter saw must have gotten bumped around in my move, because some of my mattress support cross members did not get a square cut. I have had that saw 10 years, and it always checked out square, so I got lazy and did not check it this time. Luckily, the cross members are completely hidden, and the nature of the design compensated for my out of square end cuts.The bed portion came out perfectly square, and this was evidenced by the 4 sheets of plywood fitting perfectly like a glove. Still I would suggest you put a square to your blades prior to cutting.I also suggest, if you have access to a lumber yard that can do "ACCURATE" cutting to spec, then take them up on it. ACCURATE is very important here. But I had 3 hours of cutting, using my table saw. I think a 4x8 work table and circular saw and stud with clamps could reduce that time by at least an hour. I am 6 feet tall, 215 lbs and strong. But man handling 3/4 sheets of 4x8 plywood is all I wanted. The process was exhausting and difficult. Please don't do it this way, unless your table saw is set up for cutting large dimension lumber. It will need table extensions and rollers and such. I did use rollers, but still challenging.Once the boards were cut, the rest of the process went as I expected. As I said, the directions are good. Watching the video helped a lot. I watched the video as a rest after cutting. Then it was a few days before I could get back to the project so I watched it again to get clarity. Watching the video gave me some reference for why things were done a certain way. It also gave me better perspective on what the manufacturer wanted me to do in certain situations. So I highly encourage you to watch the video at least once. The video comes in your package with the 3 construction manuals. Don't get over whelmed by the number of steps. This manufacturer is very thorough. When you are completed you will be grateful for this detailed manual.I skipped the edge banding step. I intend to face frame everything when the rest of the library shelves are finished so everything matches and ties together, So my photos and video will not have the edge banding.On the next projects I intend to use pocket screws in as many spots as I can. I am going to go back and mark my manual with locations I think would best use pocket screws. I'll update my review with that info, and tell you the number and size pocket screws needed incase you want to bust out your Kreg jig and do the same. I think it is important to note here, pocket screws should only be used on plywood and or solid wood joints. Not on particle wood. If you are going that route, conventional screws through the face of the material may be best. Pocket screws work well because they apply an immense amount of clamping force to the joint, so the glue sets in a very tight joint. Particle wood would not allow that type of force before the wood could give way, and the joint may fail.Don't use pocket screws if you intend to build with particle board.The beds initial quality may be fine, but pocket screws will fail in particle board, with the stress this product will be subjected to.For note, I estimate the bed portion of this project weighs well over 100 lbs. It has nearly 4 sheets of plywood in it. 2 are 3/4 thick and some are 1/4 thick. So watch the speed in my video, of how quickly an unloaded bed rises. I was amazed by how fast it was. It also punctuated the forces and stresses this product is under. Further demonstrating the quality of the hardware. (after adding a face frame and mattress, the bed requires a small amount of assistance to raise, but any person could do it with one hand. Once you reach 75% closed, it will close its self easily, and somewhat abruptly.I also think you could DIY a murphy bed easier and cheaper with stuff from a home store. But this kit wont cost a lot more in the scale of the project. You could maybe do a DIY bed with your own design and part sourcing for $200 to $250 (but it likely will not have the professional finish you will get with this kit). I have about $600 in this one. While that sounds like a big difference, remember these beds sell for $2000 to $3000 in stores. Those store bought beds may not have the lifetime build quality. I personally think my bed is shaping up to be very nice quality. I think it is something my family will be using for the next 20 years. You just don't find furniture like that any more. And certainly not for $600. I also think you could build this kit for less money (cheaper grades of lumber, and cheaper screws and things like that). But I wanted to use only the best materials. Remember the note about no voids in the ply wood. That is a big deal to me, and to the life of a piece of furniture. It also can add 30 to 50 % to the cost of a sheet of plywood.I have said quite a lot here. I am probably in jeopardy of not getting many helpful votes, because people don't want to read this far. Sorry for the length. I really enjoyed doing this project. I really like the product, so I have strong ideas about it. I wanted to get as many in, as I could remember at the time of writing . I will update this as other thoughts come to me.If you have ever built any sort of furniture, you can easily do this project.If you have a strong DIY, no fear attitude, you can do this project.All the information is provided to get the job done. Experience will only make it easier. But easy is not part of the DIYers vocabulary. DIYers prefer challenges.I wont say this is the best kit on the market. I have not tried any other kits. This kit has a very competitive price point, it has fantastic instructions, and a helpful video. The quality of materials provided is excellent, and it will add to a quality built final product.So is this the best kit for you?I have no idea.But I am very happy with the final product. I will not shop around for my next kit. I'll just buy more from easy DIY murphy beds. I paid full retail price for this kit. I did buy it on eBay, because I had some eBay points, and they were offering a 10X points deal so I could earn more points. But the prices are relatively the same, and Amazon's shipping is far better.I bought this bed at full price, with my own funds. I was not contacted by the seller. I was not provided any incentive for my original review. My thoughts are based on my own experience with this product and its construction.[...] It is what keeps me motivated spending my time to write reviews. If you don't find it helpful, submit a comment on how I can do a better job. My reviews don't get any better if you don't tell me what I am doing wrong.Also I know you are going to ask, so the flooring is Style Selections from Lowes. It is the Kaden, which is a reclaimed barn wood look ceramic tile. If I were to write a review on it, it would be a love hate review.I love it now, but I hated putting it in. The reason I did not make the flooring go all the way to the walls on two walls, is there will be library shelves there. So I saw no need in putting somewhat expensive tile under shelves that will be permanent. Our builder did the same in our kitchen, as do most builders. Also it saved me about 60 cuts, as I used up scrap tiles to finish each row. Less waste is a money/time saver.Update:10-15-16I used Minwax gel stain (coffee color). I think the end results are fairly nice looking. I probably would not use gel stain again. It is fairly labor intensive to get a somewhat even finish. As you can see the finish is not perfect. But fortunately when the shelves go in, a lot of that will not be noticeable. The clear coat is Zinsser sealcoat, which is basically a 2 lb cut of dewaxed shellac. Why shellac? Well I do not have any moisture concerns in a library/guest bedroom. Shellac is one of the easiest clears to apply, and virtually no VOC's after the alcohol off gasses, (in about 1 to 3 hours). Shellac will seal in all the VOC, and odors from the stain. Shellac is easy to repair, and it is fairly in expensive. Bad side to shellac, it needs 4 coats. That means brushing down the entire project. The nice thing is you can pretty much do two coats back to back, and then let is sit 48 hours before a sanding coat. do 2 more coats back to back (20 minutes to 1 hour apart) then 48 hours later a 0000 steel wool rub out. Now if you wan ta mat or satin finish you're done unless you desire wax. But if you want a gloss finish, a gloss wax down and buff out is in order. So there will be some time and labor involved with shellac. Btu the results will be a beautiful natural rich wood look. If I could have talked my wife in to letting me purchase an inexpensive airless sprayer like this oneRead more
