Arthauss Modern Bedroom Vertical Fold Away Pull Out Murphy Bed in White Matt 120 x 200

Excellent bed one is done but very complicated to build it, Even that get the instructions you need 3 people and figure out which piece is going as they didn't bring any numbers according with the step to follow. I love it I recommend it but is very good quality but the only bad is the process to put a together

The bed is amazing, the mechanism is good easy to close and open. Saves a lot of space. The only important thing is that it’s not easy to assemble, we were lucky to get help from a joiner who was was able to build it up in-under 5 hours, so keep this in mind.

If you’re thinking of buying this Murphy bed, be warned: this is not a simple flatpack job. Unless you have experience with complex furniture assembly, I would strongly advise against attempting this on your own. The instructions? They’re long and need to be read carefully. Take the time to go through them thoroughly. However, even with close attention, we found the section on attaching the bed frame to the cabinet lacking clarity—there was definitely a bit of guesswork involved. Firstly, while most of the assembly can be managed by two people, you must have at least three strong people when it comes to joining the bed frame to the cabinet. This part is awkward and heavy, and having that extra set of hands is essential. When it comes to attaching the bed frame to the cabinet, it would be helpful if the instructions suggested having something ready (like a prop or temporary stand) to support the weight of the bed during installation. We found that using sheets of thin wood to raise or lower the bed to the correct height made it much easier to align and screw in the connectors properly. Without this, it’s a very fiddly, back-breaking, and frustrating process trying to hold the bed in position while lining up the connectors. One important tip: drill the wall holders before fitting the white backboards. If you don't, you'll struggle to align them later through the tiny holes at the top of the bed frame—it’s near impossible once the backboards are in. Also, check your fixings. We couldn’t find any wall plugs or screws for securing the bed to the wall. Whether they were missing or we misplaced them, I’m not sure, but I was surprised these weren’t clearly supplied. Make sure you have the right wall fixings on hand before you start. The springs are a real challenge to attach. You’ll need plenty of patience, and don’t expect them to be right on the first go. Getting the spring tension correct is a bit of trial and error—it’s not clearly explained in the instructions. We had to attach and detach the bed from the wall several times, adjusting the springs each time, before we finally got the balance right. It’s absolutely vital that the bed is secured to the wall before you test lowering it—without this, the entire unit could topple over and cause serious injury. One major issue we encountered was with the latch on the right-hand side of the bed. As we were securing it, the latch ripped out of the wood entirely, and we were unable to screw it back in. I had to resort to using wood filler to strengthen the area and drill a smaller hole to refit the screw. While this held for now, I suspect it will break again with use. I’m really not happy about this at all, as I would have expected much stronger fixings or reinforcement in this area to properly hold the latch in place. For something designed to be opened and closed regularly, this feels like a weak point in the build. One thing to remember: the mattress is a key factor in the bed's balance. Without it, the bed will spring back up aggressively. Handle with care, and never attempt to pull the bed down without it being fixed to the wall. My advice is to spread this project over two days. Use the first day to build the wooden cabinet and bed frame, and the second day to tackle the metal frame, wall fixings, springs, and final assembly. You’ll need patience, a clear head, and realistically around 12 hours to complete this. Overall, we’re happy with the result. The bed feels solid and looks great, but time will tell how it holds up. For the price, it’s good value—but I wouldn’t want to put another one together! A Note to the Manufacturer: To make this product more user-friendly, I would strongly suggest labelling each wooden part clearly to help people with assembly. Also, creating detailed video guides for each type of bed would be a massive help—especially videos showing the correct spring attachment process and how to get the tension right. This part is far too vague in the current instructions. Simple visual tips like the bed support prop for cabinet attachment would save customers hours of frustration. Additionally, the latch fixings need to be significantly improved. The current design lacks the strength required for repeated use, and this should be reinforced with stronger hardware or metal supports to prevent damage.

When it arrived and was taken out of the box the holes drilled in the wood were incorrect, grated we were sent replacements but they have the same error with the pre-drilled holes. A lot of the fixings received did not match the instructions so had to wait for more things to be sent to us and now the instructions we have are completely wrong. None of it makes any sense at all and the company are now saying I need a joiner to fit it so expect me to spend more money on it than we already have! They also will not take the product back as they say it is past the return period which it wouldn't be if they had sent out everything correctly in the first place and made it easier to see that this product is completely substandard! If you want a bed that you can assemble using the instructions provided DO NOT purchase this! Although the customer services are quick to reply they offer ludicrous solutions that will prove costly for you.

Prepare for a long day and two people working together, great quality and looks awesome. The standard uk double is too short for the bed so measure your existing mattress beforehand

My husband read the reviews on how hard it was to put together, so expected it to be difficult, however, he built it without any problems at all. Had it up easily within less than 2 days ..so no problems at all with it..looks great and so easy to use

What can I say... wowzer! It's ten to midnight and I've just finished putting it together. I feel like it should have come with a crystal ball. I'll provide a list of observations, hoping that they fix the farcical instructions: The not so good: >Took 12hrs. Three of us pretty much non-stop. A carpenter, a general builder and a mechanic. >Delivered in 6 boxes. Boxes did not contain any reference to contents on the outside. Mark the box that contains the instructions (which wasn't box 1 BTW). >References on instructions don't match markings on the items. We had to spend 75 mins sorting out the mixed bags of items and place them in Tupperware with papers relating to the instructions. I'm glad that we did this prep (which should already have been done by the manufacturer!!), otherwise I would have already given up. >Instructions are non-sensical and even omit some of the parts. Examples include leaving the last real panel until the springs are placed, but if you did that, it would be impassible to slot in place. leave 2 panels empty. >Metal covers for the springs weren't mentioned on the instructions. Remove the screws for the plates that are already on the spring plate in advance. Once the springs are in place. Then fit the rear two screws. once the unit is fitted to the wall and there's a mattress in place to take the weight, open and fit the final screw. I waited until the end.... it doesn't fit unless you place from the back. So, you suck because your poor instructions resulted in my having exposed pinch points.... It's a safety issue!! >6 arms is a must for some of the stages. setting in place required someone to hold the door down, someone to hold an Allan key and top, someone to push the frame level and someone to turn to bolt underneath. I had to place a chair to hold the door down so that we had enough hands. >Some of the holes need to be countersunk to allow the screws to sit flush. They have not been countersunk and I had to do it myself. Most normal DIYers will not be able/or comfortable doing this. Poor quality from the manufacturer for not doing this simple thing. >I expected a gas piston instead of springs/ For a collection of laminated chipboard for over £600, it should have been better. The good: >It looks kinda okay. It could have more features to take advantage of the space. >All the pieces were there, but not a single spare. >Packaging is decent, designed to take a few hits with extra packing. Conclusion: So, I'm not very impressed, I'm tired, and I feel like a teal leaf has run off with my money. If I did this again, I would spend double the money for better. It would be better value for money.

Really nice and very sturdy pull down bed , took a few hours to put together but well worth it .
