Dude I watched this , felt confident enough to go to home Depot, did , and just like that !! I now have a guest bed in my living room and people don't know
Amazing and you are obviously very skilled. You must be proud. Unfortunately I don't have any of those tools nor the space so I will either have to get it ready made or get a carpenter!
Thank you but in reality you don’t need many tools for this build. I have them to make it a bit easier but you can get away with just a few. I think you could do it tho 👍
Rockler also makes a horizontal kit... (cut and paste) www.rockler.com/i-semble-vertical-mount-murphy-bed-hardware-with-mattress-platforms?country=US&promo=shopping&PL&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw8fu1BhBsEiwAwDrsjKgb-7YXoDB_cuyb3QLClOF-6oZedrRZRFKOoAKNrfShOm_Btnx1TxoC5VsQAvD_BwE#gad_source=1
@@sdotdiy sorry lol. 😭 I was doing a marathon of 2 broke girls and got curious how Murphy beds are actually made. This is a really cool idea for a loft bed. So it the weight of a person is really the only thing keeping it down or is it possible to lock it down in case you wanted to like air it out or have small pets around? 🤔
I didn’t want to go to the corner with the boxes. Because it would not be centered in the room and we talked about going to ceiling but decided against it. Just personal preference
Was right on par with buying a cheaper version at the store but I used better material. The cost of wood was around 650 could be less if you went with different plywood. I chose maple. The paint was approximately 60. I had tape and tool already. Took me 3 days to complete but it’s because I broke it up into parts. 1 day for murphy bed assembly (few hours that day) then built in assemble another day (few hours) and then paint. I think the bed was around 600 box’s. Bed in a box.
@sdotdiy wasn't being rude, I do like it. Any form of transforming furniture is cool tbh....I was more so touching on how difficult it was. Wasn't trying to offend or put anyone in their feelings.
Great video, quick all the info needed and no unnecessary over talking and great ideas. Good job!
Thank you and glad I could help out 👍🏼

Nice. That’s the whole point of the channel so I’m happy to hear it man 👍
Where did you buy the materials to do it?
The metal parts. Are they coming all together or I have to buy it separately? Thank you
Exactly what I was looking for. Piece of craftsmanship !
Thank you so much. 👍🏼
Very well done and nice color too.
Very helpful i was planning on making a Murphy bed thank you
No problem and glad I could help out
Well done, Rockler makes a good product as well. 👍
Thank you and definitely agree

Looks great!
Thank you very much
Sick diy. Would love to try this one day
Nice. Its a great way to get more space while having a bed
amazing build. looked for more of a 'all in one' purchase since i don't have the skill or tools for that - but it looks amazing.
Thank you and you really only need a few tools to do this. It’s the best way 👍
Love it! You make it look so easy! Need one but horizontal and so hard to find plans for it.
Thank you so much. If you buy the rockler kit you get generic plans with it 👍

@@sdotdiy where can I buy that?
Well done man it looks great
Thanks man appreciate it 👍
Looks amazing
Thank you so much 😊
Looks very nice. Happen to have a link for the kit? Plans would be awesome.
right?
Thank you so much and the kit is from rockler.con am under I-semble murphy bed
@@sdotdiy thank you!
This bed is the most beautiful one online
Thank you so much I really appreciate that
Nice Build! Where did you get the metal bed frame?
Thank you. You can get it from Amazon or rockler. It’s called I semble Murphy bed kit. I have it linked to my linktree on my Amazon storefront 👍
Just to clarify, did you use the original bedframe along with this Murphy bed kit or did you have to get a special kind of bedframe to use with it?
The kit I got was from rockler. Its called I-semble and it has all the metal parts of the build including bedframe 👍
Your non Canadian voice makes this so easy to follow
Hahaha makes sense to me lol

It’s okay and great show. The weight of the bed keeps it down and you can leave it down just by lowering it.
All together what did you price this out as?
Around 1k
Looks like you only anchored into two studs. Has this been an issue for you? I’m about to mount mine and was told I need three
I anchored them to three studs on top and bottom
Great content thank you
Thank you and glad it helps you out

What is the thickest bed you think could fit in there? I have a 12" memory foam queen in the spare room I want to build mine in.
The box depth is 17 inches so I don’t see why that size wouldn’t work. I don’t know the actual rules but it would make sense
What kit did you use?
I picked up the I-semble vertical one from rockler. 👍 I also have some links on my Amazon storefront for it.
What’s the height of the box, please?
Sorry for the delay. Did not notice the comment. Its just short of 86 inches
@@sdotdiy thanks a lot!
hi what distance should be between wall and the mattress frame?
Should be around 6 inches
I want to make a bed pretty much like yours do you have plans and materials list?
I will be making plans very shortly and I will let you know 👍
@@sdotdiydid you make plans? I’m attempting this next weekend will your video. Looks great!!
Clean 👌.
Thanks man appreciate it
Amazing
Thank you so much 👍🏼
You are such a boss
Thank you 😊

How many hours did this take you?
I don’t know the exact hours but I separated the build in 3 days. The murphy bed, the built ins and then paint
Hello Nice work ! Did you have any link to buy this kit ?
NICE!!!
Thank you very much 👍
Seems like you left some unsightly and nonfunctional spaces around the side. Why not make the built-ins wall-to-wall and go to the ceiling?
I didn’t want to go to the corner with the boxes. Because it would not be centered in the room and we talked about going to ceiling but decided against it. Just personal preference
Cost of kit is $490-500 curious overall spent with mattress and wood / tape / paint & time . Looks expensive

Thank you so much
Does it work if your name is Fred and not Murphy?
Sometimes but you have to be extra special 👍
I am the only person that thinks I am special. That's motivation!@@sdotdiy
Is this a queen bed?
Yes it is 👍
R u selling your plan or giving away?
Eventually I will be selling them with a cut optimization sheet to save on plywood. The kit comes with generic plans as well 👍
❤Nice!! Mean Bro
Thank you so much 🤜
... what kinda accent duz this guy have? weird af. delaware? or PA? i say pa.
Hurtful bro. I’m from Chicago lol
How to make a Murphy Bed:
Step 1: Dont.
If you don’t like it then don’t make it. No need to be rude 🤷♂️
@sdotdiy wasn't being rude, I do like it. Any form of transforming furniture is cool tbh....I was more so touching on how difficult it was. Wasn't trying to offend or put anyone in their feelings.
Its a great idea. Especially for small rooms and when you dont have company all the time.
