Bestar Pur Queen Size Murphy Bed in Rustic Brown, 65-inch Space-Saving Sleeping Arrangement for Multipurpose Area, Bedroom, Guest Room, or Living Room

This murphy bed arrived in 8 large, heavy boxes and was delivered by a commercial company to the driveway. Getting inside the house is on you. May the odds be ever in your favor. Starting with box #1 was a good call and it had directions for the main bed section. Directions were, for the most part, easy to follow, but as with all flat-pack furniture, double checking front/back/left/right of pieces before you attach anything will save you many headaches. We made a couple of mistakes that we were able to easily remedy. This is definitely a two-person job. Some pieces are quite heavy or unwieldy and need coordinating. Also, this is not a quick job - it took us many hours over two days and we are experienced flat-packers and DIY-ers. Noobs be wary and/or hire a professional. The two side shelving units were a breeze to assemble, though one piece came damaged. PROS: This thing is really sturdy! Looks great Functions well, smooth open/close Overall ease of assembly - it's not complex, per se, just many, many steps CONS: Delivery - would have been great to at least get inside Damaged piece Time - it's a monster to assemble Overall - recommend. A nice product. If we move, I have no idea how we'll get it out of my house.

This is a nice looking, sturdy murphy bed. It's also massive and takes some strength and skills to assemble. It came in 4 boxes, both large and heavy. The delivery guy helped me enter them in the room (which has a door on the driveway) otherwise it would have been already a problem. Overall it took me several days (not continuous) mostly by myself. A skilled and strong person can assemble it alone. Another person help in a couple of point doesnt hurt. Be aware that the instructions call for anchoring on the wall (against studs) AND on the floor (both on the floor itself and at the base of the wall). The problem with anchoring at the base of the wall is that the holes in the metal frame are pre-drilled, so if the holes are not (they won't be) corresponding to a stud and you do not have masonry or wood there you are out of luck. I opted to install just on the wall and the floor, and I think it should be enought. The final assembly of the doors is the most complicated part because the instructions are nor very detailed and because you have to drill and anchor the doors without knowing where they will actually be positioned. On customer service, I needed help with the instructions and a missing minor piece (one of the slats): in both case I was able to speak to the manufacturer's representatives (number provided) and they were able to explain what wasn't clear and send the replacement part free of charge (they actually sent 2). It's not everyday that you can speak to live person, so that's a strong quality point. TLDR: nice and sturdy but assembly is not for the faint of heart or the inexperienced.

This Murphy bed is perfect! We got the queen size in white, and it completely transformed our space. The bed folds up smoothly and allows us to use the room for both an office and a guest room. When it’s down, it’s sturdy and comfortable, and when it’s up, it looks sleek and saves so much space. The white finish matches easily with any décor and makes the room feel bright and open. Assembly took some time, but the instructions were clear. Excellent quality and a great solution for dual-use rooms! Comfortably fits/hold the weight of 2 adults and a toddler.

Very heavy. I was barely ableassemble. it inside the house, 3 boxes. I bought it thinking I can assemble it myself, I changed my mind when I saw how heavy it was. 2 professional workers have been working on it for last 5 and half hours, still not finished, thet havent been able to pevel the doors. I have to pay another $400 for assembly. They may ask for more with all the time they have spent. I hope the quality at least is ok and it will last.

For background I'm a woman in my 40s, and was able to install this completely by myself in a few hours. The bed came in 4 huge very heavy boxes. I needed someone to help lift them into my house and in an adjoining room to where I wanted to install the bed. It is well packed with lots of cardboard and styrofoam surrounding the items. Nothing was damaged in transit. The material is particleboard, but very thick and study and when assembled it looks nice and is better quality than I was expecting. I have children and was worried about them being able to open it themselves, but the handles are high up, and requires adult strength to pull open and hold up while moving supporting bar around the mattress, my very strong 8 year old could not do independently. I was nervous to put this together by myself based on the reviews, but the directions were simple and easy to follow and required minimal tools. I used the mattress I had purchased to hold the bed open when required (while still in box), a second person was not actually necessary for anything other than lifting the boxes inside my home. I was also nervous about the mattress fitting and the 10 inch pillow top that I purchased fits with ease under the supporting frame. I do not think a thicker mattress will fit, however. Because I installed it on carpet I have to plane the bottom molding as it pops off when I open the bed due to the carpet height underneath. This wouldn't be a problem when installing on other flooring.

Heavy, write that down. This is a very heavy, pretend wood, Ikea-like Bed. The instructions are just ok and leave a lot to be desired. You really need to study the small, yet detailed pictures to avoid a teardown-start-over situation in the frame. There are parts, significant parts left over which you will need to scour the manual to find out why they were not used. The pretend wood chips easily, but then all pretend wood chips easily. Once you're finished the minor wood chipping fades into the background. Notwithstanding, pretend wood of any variety or manufacturer feels like it is waterlogged, part of what makes this kit heavy. To the several "I'm a 40 year old female" who said it was easy and they finished it in one day - well I'm sceptical. The darned thing comes in 4 boxes and with packing weighs close to 400lbs. One box is 138 LBS, and this is a Queen size. Ok, 138 pounds is modestly challenging when it is on a bar with weights on either end, but this is a large cardboard box with no handles. I'm capable of lifting 100lbs but this is clumsy and myself and another man had to dead lift it to get it into my home. If you install this upstairs, have some extra help, Gatoraid and Pizza. The way this works is the visible part, the pretend wood does nothing to hold or support the bed, it is just a facade, a nice facade but not a structural component. To hold the bedframe in place, they provide massive bolts 4" (102mm) that you need to drive into the sill plate, 6 times. Don't start this without an impact driver. Wear hearing protection. The hardware holding the front panels seems weak to me, they give you 5 places to tie it into the metal bed frame but the screws just barely catch the pretend wood and strip easily, as pretend wood tends to do. Longer screws would have been better. The handles for the pull-down could use some fender washers to take some of the burden off the tiny screws. The bed pulls down with some effort and there is a lot of force on the small screw heads holding the front handles on the pretend wood. Also, about the parts - I called customer support and it said something about 5 minute hold. Ok, go about my work. Then the message came on and it said something about leaving a message and they were terminating the call. It said it in French but didn't complete before it hung up. I assumed I misheard and dialed back. The message said it would hang up after 5 minutes (!) but I can leave a message, right?? Nope, it hit's five minutes and drops the call. Amazing.

If you're on the hunt for a space-saving solution that doesn't compromise on style or functionality, look no further than the BESTAR Pur 65W Queen Murphy Bed in White. This piece of furniture has proven to be a game-changer in optimizing my living space, and I couldn't be more thrilled with its performance. First and foremost, let's talk about space efficiency. The Murphy bed design is a genius solution for those with limited space. The ability to fold the bed into the wall when not in use has transformed my room into a multifunctional space. During the day, I have a spacious and inviting living area, and at night, with a simple pull-down, I have a comfortable and roomy queen-sized bed. It's like magic! The cost-effectiveness of this Murphy bed is another standout feature. Compared to the cost of a traditional bed frame and mattress, the BESTAR Pur 65W offers incredible value. The quality of the materials used and the sturdy construction make it clear that this is an investment that will last. I appreciate the affordability without sacrificing durability or aesthetics. Functionality is where this Murphy bed truly shines. The smooth mechanism makes transitioning between day and night modes effortless. The integrated storage shelves are a thoughtful touch, providing space for books, decor, or personal items. The clean white finish adds a modern and fresh look to the room, seamlessly blending with any decor style. Assembling the Murphy bed was surprisingly straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions provided. The attention to detail in the design and engineering is evident, making the assembly process smooth and hassle-free. In conclusion, the BESTAR Pur 65W Queen Murphy Bed in White is a space-saving marvel that ticks all the boxes – space efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and functionality. It has exceeded my expectations.

Okay, so first off I will say that for occasional use I am confident this wall bed will work fine for my purposes (it will be used maybe 18-24 times a year). What I *do* like about it: 1) It is, by far, the least expensive wall bed option I could find that looked safe - and having installed it I still feel that way. 2) Slightly nicer looking trim and finishes that other options on the lower end of pricing 3) Parts of the design related to assembly are really well thought out (other parts, not so much) 4) It fits a larger (thicker) mattress than many wall beds, which was important to me What I *do not* like about it: 1) Getting this thing to look *good* is not easy, and the final fit/finish is not as polished as I was expecting. No, it was not because of my assembly skills. There is a substantial gap built into the design on the sides of the upright bed panels - this allows for a less than perfect assembly and probably helps prevent issues related to the bed sticking if any warping or bending happens over time. There are a couple of rubberized "flaps" that you screw in to the back sides to sort of cover the gaps, these flap things, along with the way they are installed, were a really poor design choice in my opinion. 2) Packaging: Overall the product is package well to keep it safe during transport - except for the two main exterior panels - you know, the ones that are the most visible. Mine arrived with one corner crushed in about 1cm (roughly 1/2 an inch). The damage is only visible when the bed is open, and I decided it was not worth waiting for, or dealing with the hassle of, getting a replacement (assuming they would send one). In any event, that box needed better reinforcement. The two panels are *really* heavy. I watched the FedX guy unload those and he was struggling bad even with it on the dolly. I had the same issue, even with a really nice appliance dolly. I ended up leaving the box in the garage and taking in the panels individually. 3) The handle hardware (the things you grab to pull the bed down) are made of the cheapest material they could find. 2 of the 4 cabinet screws they included had the heads of the screw pop off during installation (using a regular handheld screwdriver). There were zero extras in the box, fortunately I had a bunch of cabinet screws leftover from a recent kitchen remodel. The handles themselves are super lightweight and do not feel very sturdy. 4) The instructions are not terrible, but they are far from good. Figuring out which hardware (bolts, nuts, etc) went where was a little challenging as about 1/2 of them are not actually labeled with a part number anywhere (not even in the package they come in) - so much of it is just mixed together. Overall thoughts and impressions: If you need an inexpensive wall bed option for occasional use, this fits the bill. If you need a wall bed for regular use, I would highly recommend you keep looking. I do not believe this thing would stand up to daily use for very long. Note, that you really do *Need* 2 people to put this together. It just isn't safe for one person to do it alone. I am still happy I selected this thing, and I know there are a lot of negatives here, but I wanted to be thorough so people know what they are getting into.
