Very cool! You did one good job. I bet you are glad it’s done!

That is incredible. You really did a nice job on this one.

Very nice looking. Since the bed is retractable, I wonder, what’s on the other side of the wall?

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

awesome job!

Nice work, I like the contrast.

mjon,

I agree with the other comments. Incredible job. I was planing to make something like this for one of my bedrooms but I did not know where to start.

Yes, I agree with the others…beautiful piece. I’m with FLWoodRat…to where does the retractable bed retract? Does it accordion in?

Beautiful job!

Hey let me guess…. The bed is shared with the person in the apartment next door who works the night shift. Each tenant gets it for 12 hours per day, right? lol

the chain link handles was an added surprise!
I, too, am curious about the other side of the wall. A bench that this slides in and out of?

Very nice indeed. Looks like you have caught everyones attention with the retractable bed, including mine! Where does it go?

Great job! I’m with the folks wondering where the bed retracts to! Very cool piece!

the zoom-room bed has aaccordion rack that pulls in and the latex mattres is on a track that goes up on the inside and onlly takes up a 24” footprint, you can still put a flat screen tv or shelving in the front

Found this with a google search. It has a animation of how the bed works. Very creative solution.

Wow..(Applause!!!) that is really nice. I have more to aspire to. Thanks.

-- Shawn, Washington, No really, its a work in progress.

You did a really nice job on this project. I could not fathom the effort and talent it would take to complete a project of this size by hand. It takes a true craftsman to complete a project of this nature.

Thanks for sharing.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Very cool set up. Having built a wall bed, I can see some advantages for this one.

What did the zoom kit cost, if I may ask? Did it include instructions on building the bed?

The wall bed mechanism I used cost around $260, so I am interested in the comparison.

Nice Work.
A very ingenious design for hiding a bed.
