United StatesThe bed was a success. It was not as easy as people have been saying in the reviews. The directions could have been a little clearer. I have to say the spring mechanism is absolutely awesome. It can be lowered and raised by one person! I'm older and have no problems with it.

United StatesExperience was great. This is the best murphy bed available, in my opinion
United StatesI ordered my bed frame after a lot of research and a lot of planning and looking at different ideas for the DIY Murphy Beds. We wanted a king size option and I wanted to fit in my sofa space and I wanted something different from everything I had seen. I look at different sofas and decided to try and make my own. I used a simple design and an easy idea, basically a bench with cushions. Lucky for me my mom and I are avid sewers and we got to work. I built the bed frame over the course of a couple days, as a 6 month pregnant-5’2” foot woman I was able to assemble most of the cabinet and bed mechanism myself. I did have my husband help with some of the literal heavy lifting. It would also have been much faster if I didn’t have two small children needing mama all the time. The instruction for building the cabinet were clear and concise. I did make a couple of rookie builder mistakes like when I was putting in the nuts and blots to put the steel frame together I put them in the wrong way, but I was able to take them out and put them in the right way easily enough. As a novice builder I had to read everything carefully but I was not more than I could handle. I was happy to see how easy the bed was to put up! In fact my young children were able to put the beds up themselves. It was pretty cute. I am left with the feeling of YES. I could make more of these! In fact I’m looking for more place to put muphy beds in my tiny home. I couldn’t recommend this product and higher for any DIY enthusiast with a passion for making their ideas reality.

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.
