Murphy - Testing hardware w/ partial assembly

First fitting of the fake front attached to the murphy bed hardware.

John,

What hardware did you go with. I designed our largest guest bedroom to house a queen size murphy bed, which I still need to build.

Vic,

There are a lot of choices for hardware out there. I went with a commercial setup because I didn't want to worry about building the bed fame, whether it would hold up, stay square, etc. Equally important was that this setup has it's own feet that loop around over the end of the bed when pulled down. Most other kits require that you build feet into your unit - which would have spoiled the shaker style I was going for.

I used the "Supreme Murphy Bed Hardware" kit from this place:

I built a murphy bed and side bookcases about a year and a half ago. Used hardware from www.wallbed.com. I believe Rocker sells the same hardware.

Mine was out of cherry and mission style.
