This is a murphy bed that was completed on September 15, 2009. It features our Ross style with 18” bookcase. The book case has 3 drawers on the lower section and adjustable shelves on the top. The finish shown here is Colonial Maple from Minwax (see colors).

Great looking murphy bed. I’ve always seen them built in, never stand alone. Did you have to attach it to wall studs? I like the live video feed. Be careful where you scratch yourself, we’re watching you.

Yes it is mounted to the wall, but not the floor.

Nice bed a shelving unit. I had just completed my first one not too long ago and it turned out to be kind of a pain because it was a whole wall unit. I hope to try one of the stand alone styles sometime in the future. Just out of curiosity where do you get your murphy bed components?

Huckleberry, I just looked at your murphy bed that was great. I love the design. I use the Create-a-bed system. If you need one, I sell the kits. http://wwbeds.com/doityourself.htm

Wow.
I haven’t looked into your photos or vids on this one, but … wow … I need to.
This one’s in our home. I’m sold on the concept. Don’t think I could /ever/ do what you did, though. Bravo!
Our store-bought Murph....
