I love this new Murphy bed in my guest room! It came with a few cracks and blemishes on the wood, but nothing that can’t be fixed easy with wood glue and furniture pen. It was me an my handy friend (male) I was in charge of reading ahead and getting the parts ready. I recommend that you put a post in on each big piece as the sticker with the letter is very small and hard to find/ see. My friend used his cordless crew driver to speed things along with assembly. We followed the instructions exactly and it came out great. Even if the instructions don’t make sense, go with them, as it will make sense in the end.
