TOPOWN Queen Size Deluxe Murphy Bed Kit Queen Murphy Bed Kit

The Murphy bed kit is well-made and complete. The best feature are the two installation manuals that guide you step by step. To do this project you will need, good tools, especially a table saw or circular saw with a straight guide, quality lumber, space to lay out the work and materials, and time, lots of time. This is not a weekend build project if you want to look professional and work correctly. The directions are really good, just take your time to triple-check the measurements. If you notice in the pictures we have the install manuals on our worktop. We used a high-quality cabinet paint and a cheap paint sprayer and it turned out fantastic. The cost of materials is a real shock when starting this project, coming in at around $500 just for the stain-grade plywood and frame materials. However, this Murphy bed will last 10-20 years and can be unassembled and moved. Win-Win! The true test is when your company sleeps on it and they slept well, the cabinet made no creaking noises and felt solid. Thriple win!

Very easy to build if you follow the provided instructions - hardware seems to be of good quality - sturdy and works as it should - we decided to add barn doors to the front for decorative purposes instead of using plywood (we just cut them down to the size the plywood would have been) and it worked out great - nice addition to our small condo allowing us to comfortably sleep additional guest when needed but still maintain plenty of room in the living area during the day

Very disappointed, one of the pistons to lift the bed was broken when I opened the box. The instructions were vague at best,I would not purchase again

It was nice have set instructions for this build. Please note there are typos in the instructions and the biggest issue for me was the nylon spacers. Thank you to the other person in the reviews that mentioned it. We had to shave/ sand down our spacers by half the size otherwise it will cause the outer frame to bow out and warp like crazy. I am happy with the end result but it took us a few days to realize it was the spacers that cause the frame to warp. Another thing that I can’t seem to figure out is that our bed frame doesn’t close all the way. I need to add a latch at the top to keep it 100% close. I’m not sure if it’s the suspension or what but it just doesn’t close. I know that it’s not the bed stoppers since we tried taking it out.

This was a good learning project for someone without a lot of woodworking experience. I spent $569.80 at Lowes for the parts, and have lots of leftover screws, and a lot of extra plywood -- you need four sheets of 3/4" thick, 4'x8' plywood to make the bed, but this leaves enough scraps to make a large set of book shelves. This isn't a one person job -- the completed bed is heavy, and the instructions explain two people are needed for the final assembly. It would have been nice to have a table say for the initial cuts, but I was able to do them all using a circular saw, and clamping other plywood to make a guide. The instructions provided are quite good (a few spelling errors), but at the end I did swap the 1/2" nylon spacer and 1/16" washer as compared to the instructions. Using the 1/2" spacer between the bed and the frame splayed the frame outwards, but when I used the washer instead the bed was square. The total project took me several Saturdays spread over a few months, but the end result is satisfying!

First of all, I'll share the most important things I discovered. Tip #1 You must add the piston rods before you mount to the wall, and add them with the bed closed up, which will give you the lowest point the rods will be at... Meaning you won't be putting any pressure on them pulling outward. The only pressure on the rods are supposed to be pushing them in. When the bed is closed, that's the lowest point the rods would be in, that's why you connect them at that spot, if you connect higher up you will break off the end tips when you try and close it. I followed directions exactly and it was wrong and busted the tips off. That's why I eyeballed it and found the sweet spot. Tip #2 USE THICKER side boards, I mean like 1 or even 2 inches, or make a frame to be sure it won't warp. The pressure is a lot, and both of my sides completely bent and it was a pain. 1/2" is just not enough. I spent so long trying to make sure and follow directions correctly for no good reason, a waste of time. Because the most important thing is making sure those rods are positioned so no pulling pressure is added, only pressure pushing the rod down. You will understand. It's VERY easy once you know that and the basic idea of where the rods connec to the back bottom of bed frame. Good luck. when you have it right, you can lift with your pinky finger without bed, with bed it takes one hand, or 2 hands for some people.

Quality product at a fair price. Easily adjustable as my Murphy Bed did not originally have this style of legs. Instructions were clear and concise. Easy to follow and really appreciated the pattern that they included to make insulation and or measurements easier to do, this insured a smooth installation process. I greatly appreciate it would highly recommend this product.

We wanted a Murphy bed to save space and create a play room for our son. After pricing Murphy beds that were typically well over $1000, we bought this kit and built it ourselves. The instructions were clear and everything needed was included. We purchased the more expensive “finished” plywood which gave a much better end product. We even used some of the leftover plywood and made some trim for the front. We will be replacing another spare bed in our home with a second Murphy bed soon. After all lumber, we have about $650 in the bed. You can buy cheaper plywood and sand it I guess, but the finished plywood was worth it to us. Either way, it’s far less than half of the price of buying a new Murphy bed. We are pleased with the end result and love the space we gained.

Was fairly easy to do but need to stick to the measurements given
