- Murphy Bed with Builtin Side Table, LED’s, and MORE
This week I’m building a Bedroom in a wall. This includes a Murphy bed, integrated bedside table, LED Lighting fixtures, USB outlets, and more. This was a challenging project, but well worth the effort. If you are looking to build a built-in there are a lot of tips and tricks in this video that'll help out!
Enjoy,

Great to wake up, relax , have coffee and watch this beautiful bed build, instead of watching and reading all the bad news that’s going in the world. Thank you 😊
Just what I thinking!
Wow so true!
You, my friend are a true artisan .... I have never seen such perfection in a job, nor a more engaging vid and I have a very short attention span! .... as a DIY guy, totally inspirational ... well done!
you said it perfectly.
What a sense of accomplishment you must get after each job. Part mathematics, part artwork. I’m envious of your talent.
I’m a carpenter and my boss and I recently installed our first MB…. Ours was quite similar but I believe you have us topped. Excellent job! This was a very thorough well documented piece of work.
Great work. It's nice to see someone that takes pride in their work is detail oriented and doesn't just throw things together.
You are a true craftsman. That’s awesome, well done.
Ah- maze - ing. I have a husband who’s furniture/art is sold in galleries. I watch his meticulous work all the time.
BRAVO to you for being a fanatical detail man. I am impressed at the design of the bedside table.
This makes me miss building furniture with my dad. 🥰
Thanks. So-o many new tools. As a boy, I watched my grandfather, a cabinet maker, make custom cabinets for so many homes around here. I have many of the old metal corner and similar tools but the newer tools and gadgets are amazing.
Watched this video out of past interest. I live in the Portland, Oregon, where at the time we had many TV ads running for two murphy bed companies. At one time, I planned to install a murphy bed in my home office to save space then taken by a regular full sized bed. Friend and I went to the showroom and looked at the options. Most were fairly basic with a few accessories like lights and build in cabinets; some even more basic. I selected one basic model so the salesperson could run through her pitch. I found out that the inventory was all locally manufactured, and that the two stores were owned by the same company. Any appearance of competition was deceptive. We started with the base price, which was at least 50% more than I expected, given that the product was almost a high school wood shop project: low cost materials and simple construction with a basic finish. Then we got into "extras", which was anything to make the thing useful, including a "special" mattress, which was special because you'd have to hunt far and wide for something so cheaply made,offered for three times the price I would pay from something much better at a cheapo mattress store. In the end, the proposal was this basic unit, equipped to use, not including delivery but "set up", for about $3,800. We cut it short after the pitch wound down. We laughed out loud as we left the store. I haven't seen the ads for several years.
This was incredible. Thank you for sharing so much detail of the working on site. You rarely see this level of detail for this sort of speciality situation. Learned a good bit!
Best part:
Explaining how to correct normal glitches
😁Tks!
This makes me want a murphy bed, even though I don't need one. Beautiful work. The reveals were spot on.
Thank you for the video, Michael. I enjoy videos like yours, they are very educational. Another thing I enjoy are the comments. Most comments are not to criticize your work, but to identify things that we as your viewers can learn from. Once again, thank you for your great work.
Wow! I wish my skills were half as good as this guy! I built my own coffee table, nightstand, headboard and desk but that's about the best I can do. This is a cool project. I have a friend who is wanting to build a Murphy Bed into his office so I'll pass this on to him.
Man, this REALLY gives me some appreciation for how much work a project like this takes. It looks so clean and simple when you're done, but DAMN that's some attention to detail!
This was amazing to watch. I found it particularly interesting because about a month ago I designed a floating platform bed frame with a walnut veneered plywood headboard, with mitered edges to feign a larger slab. An added design element was a sun burst pattern on the headboard using a router to be filled with black epoxy. This is a pretty similar design that validated my amateur woodworking anxiety! Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work.
I did have a question that I hope you're willing to answer. Although I'm only just starting woodworking projects and filling my own home with fine furniture, I hope and intend to eventually offer my services to clients. My question is, how do you go about pricing something like this? If you could impart any knowledge from this particular project I would be incredibly grateful.
Thanks again, and keep on keeping on!
Pricing is a big subject, and I’ve been working on it for a while. I usually design in sketchup, break down all the material cost I can think of. Add 15% for any unforeseen expenses, then break down the build in terms of hours. I add 10% more hours in case of issues, and add it up. Your hourly rate depends on a lot of factors, where you live/ skill level. I increase my hourly every year. When I started I was charging $50/hr and quickly realized for the kind of work I was doing I was the cheapest game in town. Make sure you get a contract and at least %50 up front before you begin work.
@@MichaelAlm I thought you might be interested in seeing the final product! Was far more challenging to build that I expected. Mistakes were made, and lessons were learned. :)

I agree; UNDENIABLE...this video is well done as in PROFESSIONAL QUALITY for narrative, instruction and completeness!
This aesthetic is so pleasing man. Congratulations for skill
Waooooo absolutely a professional.Pleasure to watch you work.
Craftsman making it look so easy to build a quality product !
As an electrician. Covering an electrical box where it is not accessible is against code. In my opinion You should not have done that. But it’s not me. Beautiful build though.
I was thinking the same, and surprised his electrician friend allowed that too, to be honest.
This I agreed
@@doublebass1966 depends on where the job is.
@@terrym5385 looks like Seattle and that is not allowed there
As long as the panel in front is removable I think code allows it
I liked the LK shirt at the beginning!
Wonderful job ... you really thought it all out.
Excellent craftsmanship. Thanks for being so generous.
My hat's off to you....reminds me of woodwork shop in the early eighties but without the tools. You're very skilled plus the video was well put together.
This guys skill is on another level 👌
Michael- Hi ! Excellent vid, and BEAUTIFUL work !
I'm planning on some work here at the "new" home I just bought my wife, and with a budget limited - as one might expect - from a decent but "Fixed" - Income lifestyle, I'll be doing as much of the work myself as I can .
THIS is exactly what I'd had in mind for a conversion of our "Guest bedroom" into an "Office" *_(_* I help "inventors _realize _*_their_* next "Great Idea" through the Conceptual Design phase, the Patent and the Commercial Prototype stages of development *_)_* without _completely_ losing the "Guest bedroom" functionality.
I now _plan_ to use *THIS* Vid as my approach-guide to accomplishing this.
I look forward to forwarding you *(* some time later this year *)* ~3 pics - a couple of progress pics , with a "reveal" pic of the result, just for your enjoyment,
so ...
"stay tuned" ;=) !
ALL the _best_ from Texas ! -

What a delight to watch. So many of these videos have lousy audio and are longer than they need to be because of it. It really helped that you added scripted narration after the video was edited. Very tight, informative piece.
Phenomenal attention to detail. This was a lot if work! Excellent job!
Your work is so precisely done. Clean and neat. I wish you were in my local area…you would be hired for all my projects. Great work ethic!
You had an electrician and a junction box was buried?
Does your local electrical code actually allow for that?
Totally against code
surprised me when that electrician allowed that
Hey mate, Nate writing from Australia originally from Kingston Ontario. I've only just had a go at glueing wood together for the last 2 years. After seeing this insane build I just really want to say how happy i am to see How happily complicated everything can be. Come to Melbs bro lol
Outstanding craftsmanship.
man i was thinking of adding a murphy bed, but holy cow, this is a big project lol. Definitely admire them more now
Nice clean Scandinavian look.
That looks amazing. Wondering why you went back and put in MDF on the sophet when you just covered it with walnut ply and edge banding anyway. Did you change your design mid-build? Looks amazing
He said he wanted a paintable surface. He was not really clear what dimension was off, or plans for painting. (Early part of video)
That. Looks. Awesome. I love Murphy Beds!
Great job 👍, that’s a labour intensive one ... like your attention to detail 😉
That's a beauty of a job, nicely done!!
Love this job. Well done! The man has skills y’all.
Amazing woodwork
I'm very impressed! Very nice looking built-in bed and great construction methods!
Great job Michael. The sapwood detail was inspired.
Beautiful job. So much precision and detail.
Holy shit. I have always wondered what kind of talented folk were making nice furniture for yachts. I guess they must be very much like you.
Wow, excellent job. U're the best contractor I've ever watched. Need 2 take lessons from U. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
A job well done. Really enjoyed this project.
Work of art! 🫡
excellent work,no comeback from this quality.A1.
Great work, real attention to detail.
Brilliant! You are such a good instructor.
This is pretty sleek, very well done bud
Love a good Murphy bed!
Omg you are so talented…. ❤️ thank you for sharing.
Wow!! Such professional craftsmanship- gorgeous end product, real work of art. Subscribed! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful work
Great job, but I would not have attached the structure to the bookcase which is already old and different, but I would have also redone this with the same type of wood.
Beautiful job. 😃👌👏👏👏
Nice. You make it look easy.
Dang. You’re a master. Love this.
Beautiful work!
Excellent video and great narration. I would prefer lower volume or no music though.
Looks really good
Nicely done. I've been thinking about these Murphy Beds for some time now. I'm just not sure about covering up the right side outlet (code) and using the bookshelf (left) side as support.
Absolutely beautiful! Exhausting to watch, I like to think of myself as a handy person but I would have given up so soon on this :) this is why you hire a professional!
Question: Have you ever use a paper/tape dispenser that attaches tape along one edge of the paper? Where I've seen these dispensers used is in auto repair shops for masking off areas on a vehicle you want to protect from over-spray. I believe the paper comes in various width roles and probably different widths of masking tape too.
It looks great! Thanks for sharing.
gracias ! almorzamos mirandote ;)
The most well thought out design. Absolutely love this video and will be the criteria for my Murphy bed. I would love to hire you!
Wow. Truly superior and inspirational work🙏🏻
This looks so polished. The process is so professional. Good job!
Really enjoyed this build. nice work
Beautiful work God bless!
Lovely work.
Bless you for posting. Thanks too for wearing a mask. Pass it on. People should buy as gifts and stocking stuffers. When others see people use safety, they will do the same. Buy to have on hand, share with others, masks, gloves, safety glasses.
No Comments, Bravo 😀👍👌👏
LOVE the logo.
Job well done fella.
Awesome build!
Nice project and really well described. Thanks for the video!
Lovely work!
Great job. This is very beautiful finish work. I would want electrical access on both sides of the bed.
Why all negative comments...heck w them! You did great!
I've always thought that installing some art on the under side of a murphy bed could make it feel less obtrusive when folded away
Plum, right, true reminding me of Brian griffin
Great Work Dunedin FL
Wow. Just.... Wow!
Well beautiful work wow!
Who are the jerks that are disliking this video. Nice work. Super clean and professional
Love this channel! Subscribed. You're great. Thanks for the content.
Great JOB !
Clean but I would have done the ceiling first so the sides hold the ceiling up adding structure and rigidity
Pretty cool build but I have to be honest I just don't get the fascination with murphy beds. People say it is space saving but what is it really saving the space for? The primary purpose for rooms like this in MOST cases is as a spare room for guests. It is a room that doesn't really get used for anything else and you can't typically have other furniture in the room because you won't have a place for the furniture when the bed comes down. I guess in some cases if you space plan really well it could dual purpose as a home office so that the floor space where the bed resides can be clean and unobstructed most of the time but then again you can't use your home office when you have a guest staying with you? In a case like this specifically the interior of the build is 1,000 times better than the painted outside. You have all that beautiful walnut detailing and it is hidden 98% of the time for cheap looking painted MDF. I get that they were trying to match their clean modern aesthetic but IMO it should have just been a cool built in bed for the guest room. That's just me though and I wasn't his client.
That is a great job.
Just WOW!
Nice job!
Impressive skills .👍👍
Thanks Michael. I enjoyed this video. Its Full of great ideas.
Can you please supply a link to the Murphy bed hardware kit.
What is the room used for when the bed is folded up? And where does the room furniture go when the bed is pulled down?
Looks great, but what about ventilation holes on the bottom of the bed to let out water vapors from the body?
