I built one of these. My wife and I have a small 2 bedroom home and she needed a craft room. I built this bed then made her a couple of work tables with folding legs. We can put the tables away and bring down the bed when needed. She loves it. She now can set up her work and not have to move it off the kitchen table if people come over. I also used your video to build a couple of slat walls in our entry. Thanks for sharing you time and your knowledge.
That's excellent Steve! Yes I remember seeing your slat wall, I shared it with my audience on Instagram. It came out looking great! I know your wife is happy to have a husband who is handy, keep up the great work! Thank you for supporting us as well 🙏🏾
@Jaymaul009 I bought the kit from Rockler and it come with instructions & cutting dimensions for each piece. The same was available on Rockler website.
Can't beleive I missed this until today. Awesome build 3W Family !!!! Big shout to Sam on the gram.... I need yall in Charlotte for a month or two. lol
Hi, your video is really detailed and well explained. I saw may videos about building murphy beds and I'm onto building my own (a hroizontal one). Does that relaly make a difference to put a bottom pannel on your murphy bed structure (the pannel that is on the floor from the structure?)
Having the bottom panel will keep your structure square. If weight is a concern instead of having a full bottom panel use stretchers but you'll want to have something below to keep it square.
Have you experienced creaking noises from the bed frame? Comments on the Rockler site say it's a very noisy bed when you sit on or move around while laying down.
This is the prettiest one I’ve seen yet!
Wait till you see the next two Murphy beds we just finished!
Thank you!
I really admire your effortless TEAM WORK!! Y'all are fantastically smooth.... That's goals right there!
Thank you so much!
And get a special iron just for edge.Banding it's a lot more powerful than a clothing iron so does a way better job

Hey Steve. Do you still have the cut list and instruction booklet for the murphy bed build?

Lol thank you family; I'm far from a master though
Did you add additional wood to the top for the crown molding to be nailed to or was there enough wood space already?
Great how-to video, thanks! Happy to subscribe. What is the mattress like to sleep on? Is it standard with the kit?
Thanks! The mattress was the clients choice but it was an Amazon memory foam buy. Get something less than 12" thick

That's a good question. We made this for several clients and none of them had brought this to our attention. Did you glue your frame together?
Domino is a little Pricey how about substitute a biscuit joiner?
That works just as well, I got mine for a super steal on Facebook marketplace. You can find crazy tool deals there
Hey, what kind of plywood did you use for the bookcase and bed frame?
We used 3/4 C-2 birch unfinished, as well as Maple for the door handles
What size bed do the plans accommodate?
A queen, the plan I created is for the bookcase on the side. Rockler wood works has a Murphy bed kit with the plan for free
