This Murphy bed takes time to put together.  The instructions are easy to follow and requires 2 people.  I was able to put together this unit mostly by myself and asked for help when I really needed it.  This bed really provides a lot of free space when it’s up.  I have it in the guest room that duels as an officeart studio.  I gave it a 4 star because so of the wood edges had a few chips- but I able to cover it with a dab of paint.
