Create-A-Bed

I was able to create a wonderful Murphy Bed. The kit and directions were good. The components seem a bit pricy at first but you get everything you need to make a working drop down bed. It was worth it to have all of the proper hardware. I only purchased 4 sheets of maple veneer plywood, screws, and stain/polyurethane. I had some leftover molding from our home trim that I used to accent the edges. One change I made was to place a shelf almost the width of the bed near the foot to supplement the legs. I have received numerous compliments regarding the finihsed product.

My husband and I didn't have any trouble following the directions to build our murphy bed, plus it works great! :)

This is my second time buying and building a Create-A-Bed Murphy bed, but the first time ordering direct through Create-A-Bed. I previously bought and assembled a CAB queen bed set through Rockler in about 2014 which is still going strong 8 years later. The experience was just as good this time, however, CAB staff went above and beyond to send me a PDF of the plans in advance after purchase so I could go ahead and get started cutting and prepping all of the wood so that I'd be totally ready for assembly when the hardware kit arrived. This saved me a week or so of waiting for delivery, and when the hardware kit arrived, I wrapped up assembly in an afternoon. Their kits are easy to use and the directions are always clear and easy to follow. These kits are a lifesaver in our small city house, giving us a ton of flexibility with using limited space in the best way possible.

I bought one of their mechanisms 20+ years ago and made a Murphys Bed. It's still in service and has survived a move. When I was looking for a sleeping solution for my cargo van to camper conversion this hardware was the logical solution. I can weld and could have made something but why?! Great hardware, great instructions and a fair price. Their instructions are so good there's not much room for Murphys' Law to take effect.

The hardware is excellent. The directions are easy to follow.
