BUILDING A MURPHY BED

What happens here

Carefully move the large, heavy Murphy bed cabinet into the desired room. Using a measuring tape and a pencil, mark the section of the existing baseboard trim that needs to be removed for the cabinet to sit flush against the wall. Use a multi-oscillating tool to precisely cut and remove the marked section of the baseboard. Push the cabinet against the wall, ensuring a tight fit. Secure the top of the cabinet to the wall studs using screws for stability. Install the chosen handles onto the front of the bed platform for easy access. Finally, attach the mattress support slats to the bed platform if not already done, and place the mattress.

Goal: Move the finished Murphy bed cabinet into its designated room, prepare the baseboard for a flush fit, secure the unit to the wall, and install handles and mattress support.

[Music] we got this monstrosity in here uh get some help camera guy kyle really came through thanks kyle um here's what we're gonna do for installation here we need to cut off our trim board uh to make it flush with this kind of flow so this can lean against the wall uh i'm gonna make my markings use a little multi oscillating tool kit a nice good clean line push it against and then we'll prop it open and secure it into the walls so we can actually safely open it [Music] that's a tight fit okay i think this is a two-person job in order to secure it because i think it's gonna start closing here you're probably wondering what's the deal with the 50-pound kettlebell um the way this thing is set up that when the mattress is here it could stay if it's not it goes up so that's just there to hold it in place check this out watch this i have a kettlebell it's actually kettlebell i don't know why i say kettlebell i don't know things [Music] oh there now let's get our mattress [Music] in terms of the price on this project 300 was spent on the hardware kit itself and an extra three to four hundred dollars were spent on all the wood and edge banding and everything else that kind of came with that as well as paint so all in all 700 bucks for a murphy bed not bad at all considering some of the new stuff out there is between fifteen hundred and thirty five hundred
