    Thanks for sharing, that was cool I will be trying it at some point this year👍
  • @bskelly
    You made that look so easy and I really enjoyed your style of doing the video. I am seriously going to order the kit you listed and make this for our guest room / office. Thanks!
  • @denishood7258
    Nice job! The door fronts on the bottom of the bed really make it looked built in. Does not look like a bed in hiding. Next project go for the twin. The Murphy door
  • @davidlan5698
    Dude, that is a masterfully made Murphy bed. Thanks for taking the time to make this very helpful video
  • @iansprescott
    Great job. Am seriously looking to make something just like this. Your end result looks brilliant. Thank your for honesty showing all those potential pitfalls (mistakes). Am sure I will also find a few ' pitfalls' of my own but feel encouraged enough to have a go. Many Thanks. Ps thanks also to the people asking good questions .
  • @ericrodman2537
    Great video! Definitely one of the better ones I've watched. Thank you for the pro tips on cabinet pulls. I noticed that a lot of people don't paint the interior of the murphy bed cabinet - why is that? Also, have you considered changing the headboard? One other thing, what did you do about your baseboards? Cut them off for flush mounting, or angle cut around them?
  • @milespalmer7034
    Do you have the specs on what kind of wood you used/sizes and amounts? Thank you, great video
  • @letsseeitaly1798
    Thanks! Great tutorial. Don't you think that handles on trim will pull the trim off?
  • @angelojeda4580
    Awesome video.. just curious, how much do you charge for something like that?
  • @AHicks4Jesus
    What are the overall dimensions of of just the box for the queen bed?
  • @timb2478
    How did you build those cabinet doors? Given how you are assembling them, it looks like they may be prefab? If so, let me know where you got them, they look great!
  • @trevorjordan8286
    You made a queen sized Murphy bed. What is the shortest the bed could've been, without the trim work? My ceiling is 92.5 inches, could I make it work?

    I've totally made a good chunk of the same mistakes you did 🙃 I'm officially at the vertical stage 🙌🏾....buuuuut also realize all this really means is I'm maybe about halfway through considering filling, sanding, painting and building a cabinet to frame one side. Most days I totally feel like I'm over my head (....I don't REALLY know what I'm doing....mostly playing Ash the Builder 🤫). I'm still deciding on a hardware solution because the long ones I want are dumb expensive 🫥. Were you able to get the 1x3s flat once you screwed the pulls in?....Or should I maybe install the pulls before I secure the mattress support? Also (because I have no clue what I'm doing 😁) do you have any vides of how you built the cabinets? 🤔 Thanks!
  • Great vid. In my head i was picturing around €300-€400 for timber but then mine was going to be very basic. I like your finish though, definitely going to take some inspiration from it.
  • @theosbournes7485
    Amazing, this is definitely what I want mine to look like. What were the legs of the bed?
  • @janjakabovic9694
    Is the bed strong enough in the middle? Is it deflexing in the middle? I think the support beams are too small in height to prevent bending in everyday use.
