United StatesWe love our Horizonal Murphy bed
We purchased the Horizontal Panel Bed Frame Kit from Murphy Bed Depot. We then purchased Burch Plywood 3/4 in. from Home Depot. The assembly instructions were very well written and hardware cards well organized. It took 2 of us a few days to complete the bed frame, going at a slow pace. Our only hiccup was that we initially used 6 springs on each side and had to take it apart to reduce to 4 springs; was relatively easy to backtrack. We love it!!
United StatesAmazing Murphy Bed Kit
I spent a lot of time looking for a Murphy bed kit and finally settled on this one. Boy and I glad I did! The instructions were VERY thorough and worked perfectly. This bed is so solid and the mechanism is very easy to operate. So much so I haven’t had a single person say it’s cumbersome. Thank you for an awesome kit!
United StatesExcellent Product
The panel bed kit was a breeze to assemble. Had a little trouble with the spring installation but with a little customer service explanation that all springs are not the same so installation may very on which ones came with the kit. The cutting instructions and other installation instructions were right on.
United StatesWell designed, clear instructions, accurate cut list
The kit arrived in totality and all parts were included. We purchased the hardware kit as well which was worth the $30 or so extra. The cut list was accurate. The instructions were a little unclear at times however it was easy to figure it out once we could see how the parts functioned. The included tips regarding the spring installation were very helpful. Once the components were finished we were able to put the unit together and install it in one day. It functions very smoothly and it looks terrific! The only thing we added was a strong back on the back of the head board as it had a bit of give on the lower part that does not contact the wall. Other than that we are extremely happy with the product. We were able to make a quality murphy bed for less than a third the cost of buying the same thing. If you have the proper shop skills this is the bed for you.
United StatesKing Size Murphy Bed Frame
Excellent. All parts are well made. The pages of direction cover everything we needed for installation. The spring system works great; we used all nine springs per side for a mattress that weighed in at about 180 lbs. Would highly recommend this for anyone. The level needed for installation is above a DIY level in my opinion.
LET OUR CUSTOMERS SPEAK FOR US
Finally!
We have been looking for an affordable and well designed murphy bed for about 10 years. We found all that and more in the Next Bed. We just installed it in a closet and are awaiting our first guests. Thank you for helping us make our guest room better.

No Problems
This is the second Majestic Library Bed we have purchased from Murphy Bed Depot. The quality of the bed and service we received were excellent. The company went out of its way to be of help.

Loved it!!
Loved it!! I was building a Murphy bed myself for our guest bedroom/office and the instructions were easy to understand. The hinges work with ease and the panel was easy to assemble and attach to the false cabinet doors. I would purchase this kit again if we ever decide to do a custom Murphy bed at a future home.
