I needed one extra spot for guests a few times a year. This Murphy bed is the perfect solution for our space. Fits in our home office, folds up out of the way and a usable surface and nice piece of solid wood furniture. Assembly took us 3 hrs. start to finish with minimal issues w parts fitting. One hex screw joint was missing the metal insert, we opted to use wood glue in its place.  The diagrams, for the most part were helpful.
