Operation

Assembly

through bolt system

Our Bolt and Nut System

Our desk bed goes together with bolts, making it the easiest in the industry to assemble. It is designed with a bolt-and-nut system. Once assembled, this bolt system can never be pulled apart. 

It can be assembled and disassembled hundreds of times over a lifetime of use and can be moved should you change homes. Because of this design, if you no longer need your bed, it can be handed down to others and should never end up in a landfill.

Our Beds Are Designed for Simpler Assembly

​

Every engineering decision affects not only the strength of the finished bed, but also how easily it can be assembled correctly.

​

At Wallbeds Company, our cabinet, mattress support system, and hardware were engineered to reduce unnecessary parts while maintaining exceptional structural strength. The result is a Murphy bed that is easier to assemble, easier to service if ever needed, and designed for decades of reliable operation.

​

A Murphy bed is unlike most furniture you'll assemble in your home.

It contains precision mechanical components, supports substantial weight, and becomes a permanent part of your home once installed. Because of this, the quality of the engineering—and how thoughtfully the product is designed for assembly—should be an important part of your purchasing decision.

Not all Murphy beds are engineered the same. Some require significantly more parts, fasteners, and assembly steps than others. Differences in engineering can affect installation time, the likelihood of assembly errors, long-term serviceability, and the overall ownership experience.

​

Before making your decision, ask these questions:

​

  • Approximately how long does assembly take?

  • How many individual parts and fasteners are involved?

  • Are special tools required?

  • How easy is it to assemble correctly the first time?

  • What safety features are built into the design?

  • ​

  • Will the manufacturer provide technical support years from now if you need it?

These questions may not change the purchase price, but they can make a significant difference in the quality, reliability, and enjoyment of your Murphy bed for years to come.
