Murphy Wall Bed Pair

Project by Chris Davis posted 45 days ago 414 views 2 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a pair of murphy beds that were built and shipped unfinished. They were completed in October 2009. What is unique about these are they are apart of the same unit. The two queen wall beds are separated by a 18” bookcase. The Hudson Bay as I call it is simply the Alpine with some added molding. I say simply but it’s not that simple. There is 32 pieces, 64 in all that has to be cut and mitered on both ends. Each piece of molding is hand sanded, fit, attached, and sanded again. There is a lot of labor involved.

The overall width of this unit is 146” at the base and 148 1/2” (12’, 4 1/2”) at the crown. That’s not bad though two beds and a bookcase in a little over 16 square foot of floor space.

Here is the recorded videos of the build:
