Take about 90 seconds to read this - if you're looking into a Murphy Bed, this is very important!
This kit has been used on several of our custom building projects, and I am so pleased and confident in the unique piston system that:

1) If you use the kit and build a bed, I'll give you a  6 month
money back guarantee (click for details) if you are unsatisfied.

2)  I will even link you to other websites selling Murphy beds - why?
a) They include some fantastic ideas for finish details when 
using this affordable kit for building your own unit!
(Click here if you don't think you're handy
enough with tools to build your own!)
b) To point out the fact that most of these sites are really trying
 to sell their expensive cabinetry!  And don't forget to add 
in a huge factor - shipping (most don't show you this up 
front because it's such a big expense...on you!)
c) Some sell the old-fashioned spring systems which 
are quite a bit more expensive and very heavy to ship.  

I believe if you're planning for a Murphy Bed, this kit  is the right choice! The  mechanism KIT is $259.95.

Here's the entire Yahoo listing for Murphy Beds: http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=murphy+beds
There are lots of great cabinet ideas among these!  But the key to a good Murphy bed is the mechanism - and we have the best! 
Remember that this piston system will allow you to do the same thing as the pricey and bulky old-fashioned spring systems:  raise and lower the bed easily!  If you aren't capable of building the bed yourself,  most towns have many cabinet professionals that can duplicate cabinets you see on these pages! 

This unique piston kit really does the trick, and comes neatly packaged in a single box 32"x10"x3" weighing about 11 pounds.  The 28" long pistons pack the punch needed to build a great Murphy bed.  If you're thinking the old spring systems might be better because their bigger and bulkier,  I'll be happy to send you a 10 pound chunk of lead for that tiny diamond on your finger!  Get the point?)   

 If you purchase the kit, I'm available to verbally assist you through any rough spots you might encounter!  Please call us at 1 800-419-1130 with any questions.   Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your finished photos and comments!

Plans that are included with each KIT:

Double/Queen KIT (same fits both) - there are 4 separate 23-page detailed instructional booklets:

1)  Instructions for building Double using Particle board (PB, Melamine, MDF) based sheet material as primary component
2) Instructions for building Double using Plywood (Oak, Birch, etc) based sheet material as primary component
3)  Instructions for building Queen using Particle board based sheet material as primary component
4) Instructions for building Queen using Plywood based sheet material as primary component

Twin  KIT   - there are 2 separate 23-page detailed instructional booklets

1)  Instructions for building Twin using Particle board based sheet material as primary component
2) Instructions for building Twin using Plywood based sheet material as primary component

The plans differ slightly, but the small measurement changes and hardware placements are very important. It is probably best to select the plan that represents your size and material choices and either get rid of the others or certainly separate them so you don't accidentally work off of conflicting plan sets!    Jim
