Murphy bed masquerading as an Armoire

This is the completed bed in it's final resting place.

This wasn't a cheap project. I purchased commercial quality murphy bed hardware (about $700). Add the walnut, hardware (handles, fake door hinges, etc.) and I think the total was around $1300.

Here's the place where I purchased the hardware:

I used the "Supreme Murphy Bed Hardware" kit which has it's own feet that loop around over the end of the bed. Most other kits require that you build feet into your unit which would have spoiled the shaker style I was going for.
