Let customers speak for us
Installed the Murphy bed in our study. Now we can use it as a home office most of the time but still have a bed for guests. Best of both worlds.
Installed in our small cabin. The mechanism works perfectly, and it’s easy to lift up and down. Makes the place feel much bigger.
Built the king single Murphy bed with my son for his room. Took us a weekend but it was a fun project. The result looks great and saves a lot of space.
Perfect for a small Airbnb and got a Murphy bed for one of the rooms. It looks clean and modern when folded up. I painted the wood to match my decor. Great design overall.
We use it in our spare room for guests, and it’s comfortable and easy to fold up. Definitely recommend for smaller homes. We found all the materials in mitre10
During the day I can fold it up and have space to work or do a bit of exercise. The hardware feels strong, and the instructions were clear enough for me to build it on my own over a weekend.
It’s solid and works smoothly. I like that I can fold it up in seconds and have space for my desk again.
We used for our son’s room so he’d have more floor space to play. The setup took a bit of time, but everything fit together nicely. Once folded up, it looks like a cabinet. Very happy with it.
built the long single Murphy bed in my office so it can double as a guest room when family visits. It folds up neatly and looks tidy against the wall. The instructions were easy to follow and the quality of the hardware is great for the price.
Really happy with it. Makes the space more useful. We were not the fastest to built it but satisfied once done.
All parts were there, well packed, and nothing missing. The delivery was fast to Christchurch
Good for anyone who likes a weekend project. The hardware worked fine, We built it in the guest room and it fits perfectly.
A bit confusing at first glance, but once you start it all makes sense. The finish looks really good once it’s up. Very tidy design.
Instructions were clear and the pictures helped a lot.
The bed saves a lot of room. Happy with how practical it is.
