Sarah E. Goode received a patent in 1885 for a cabinent bed. It folded /rolled , without "breaking" into a functional roll top desk. 25 years before the Murphy bed. Thought to have been born into slavery around 1855 but after the age of 5 grew up in Toledo, Ohio. Had a furniture store with her husband in Chicago who also was an inventor who obtained at least 1 patent.

Nice review, thanks. I like that you can move it to a different wall, other room, vs a Murphy bed that would be a struggle to move. I thought it looked like a double, but the website says the width of the unit is 64” and 60” is a Queen so 🤷♀️ . One downside for Canadians is it doesn’t deliver here - still cool though 🇨🇦

I’ve had two Murphy beds so love them. One in my own apt and one as a guest bed in lr. My good friends put me up regularly and saved me buttloads of money, as I was commuting to take an out of town 6 week course. However, the box while very stylish and convenient has two drawbacks. 1. No way to secure the movable bench part like ties or latches, 2) entirely too heavy and cumbersome mattress. Works well for your needs though and good for you. Thanks🙏🏻🧐😉

I would suggest though, while the wood looks really nice on mine, it is very soft, something as simple as dropping a pen 1ft high will leave a pen tip mark on the desk if it hits right. They have tons of wood options. Something to be mindful of.

It may be more expensive, but a horizontal Murphy desk bed would be more convenient. You could work on the desk all day, then simply pull down the (already made) bed for guests. The desk surface swivels to become a base at the foot of the bed without disturbing your layout. Downside: one side of the bed would be against the wall.

This is really a “to each their own case”. I agree a wall mount would be easier to drop down and could get an even more comfy mattress. For me I need this low footprint. I have the wall behind it with green screen and the rest of the walls sound proofed for filming my hiking channel and office space for the day job. Also with the room being small a drop down might hit my ceiling fan. This allows me to have my creative office space. I still have to work around it a bit, but not as difficult as it would be with a drop down. It’s a great question. Would love to hear others opinions on this as well. 👍🏻

@@DanReviewsStuff Very good response. Makes perfect sense. I can't do a wall-bed in my apartment because I have windows or doors on every wall.
