This is a Murphy Bed made in a clear lacquered birch. It is brand new - never assembled, never used. It is exactly as shown in this photo when assembled and mounted to your wall. With a Murphy Bed you can expand your living area enormously. When up as a cabinet, it takes up a footprint of only 16 inches by 65 1/2, leaving almost your entire room for other uses. If you need an office, a den, a rec room or a dining room, this bed will leave you space for those things, and yet be available as a normal fully comfortable bed in an instant (with a mattress of your choice not over 12 inches thick). This bed is built with high quality European hardware - not the Asian hardware so prevalent in the industry today. It is made with plywood rather than melamine panels, another reason why this is far superior in durability and beauty to most other products on the market. This bed can solve a lot of problems when space is at a premium!
