This set looks beautiful closed up, but the bed has flaws. The most egregious one is the fact that it will not stay down when opened. It seems to have been made for extremely heavy people. It needs some sort of adjusting mechanism for the weight of the sleeper. Also, I think the whole structure could be made an inch or two deeper to allow for a thicker, more comfortable mattress. (A 10" one we bought would not allow the bed to close, so we opted for 9" one which is much less comfortable.) Bestar sent us "weights" - actually 2 planks, with no instructions for how to use them. They definitely can't be used over the bar on the floor. ( We had been using bags of garden soil to hold down the bar. These worked very well, but are not the prettiest.)

Cheaper materials than expected but looks nice and everything was shipped in perfect condition.

Delivery was easy, putting together was fun too. For the Price, I would recommend

I debated for about a year whether to purchase a murphy bed online and looked at many different products before finally purchasing this one. I was very nervous but am soooo glad I did! It's exactly what I wanted. Due to the size of our room, we turned the bookshelf at a 90 degree angle to the bed. (This is possible since the bookshelf is actually a separate piece from the bed.) My husband and I put it together ourselves, and, although it does take a long time, if you follow the directions exactly as written, it comes out perfectly. Some tips I learned: 1) Don't skip ahead in the directions thinking you will save time - there is a reason they are written in the order that they are. 2) Due to warping during shipping, the doors may look slightly curved when you unpack them, but don't worry. The very last step is to screw the doors to the bed frame and this step straightens the doors out. 3) If installing on carpet, don't forget to raise the front leveling feet as instructed to account for the carpet or else the baseboard won't install correctly on the bed. Overall, I feel this piece is very well made and we are very happy with it.

Clean lines and modern design. Sturdy and Very comfortable. Much better than a sofa bed. We hired someone to put it together and it took them 6 hours to assemble and secure to the wall. One part is rubbing when we close the bed but we would have to disassemble to fix. Which isn't happening. Overall very happy with this purchase we get a lot of compliments.
