DIY. You want to have some satisfaction and take pride in building the murphy bed yourself? We offer two options.
Option One is we take the Create-a-bed kit, plans, and video and give you a BIG head start. We pre-cut all parts, Drill most of the critical holes for the mechanism, and let build it. NOTE: You do need minor woodworking skills. It is a little harder then putting together Ikea style furniture (your building this) See below for more info.
Option 1: Alpine pre-cut boards $799 (Shipping extra send quote for more details). This is Option 1 plus the pre-cut boards.Watch Video (Click here)
Here is what it cost you!$299 Kit $500 All precut boards and hardware $799 Total (Plus $299 Shipping)
Some of the things we do for you:
Here is what we save you from buying this package:Example Queen Oak Most prices are form Lowes. 4 sheet of oak plywood at $44.88 each $179.52 (note I use better quality materials than the home stores.) 2 sheet of 1/4" plywood at $10.45/each (J) $20.90 2- 1 x 6 x 6' Poplar (A) $25.80 1-1 x 6 x 8' Poplar (A) $17.20 50" of edge banding .19/ft $9.50 (homecraftveneer.com) 1 box 1 1/4" screws $18.94 1 box 2" screws $18.94 Mechanism kit with instructions and Video $299 Total Materials $589.80 (not including tax and travel time or labor)
Labor already completed for you! Cut and rip 32 pieces Edge band 16 edges Assemble inner frame, just the horizontal pieces into a "L" shape (A) Drill 5/8 Hole and 3-1/4 hole in each side rail Cut a clean square cut-out for the legs assemble to pass ( I do it with a jig so that it is clean and straight) Drill 2-5/8" holes, 3-1/4" holes, 1-3/8" hole in verticals (I also add biscuit slots to hold headboard, not in original instructions) Cut biscuit slots and pocket holes in headboard (this is not in original instructions, but added it to make it easier to assemble) This labor could take the better part of a weekend (15-20 hours) for a first time builder and all those holes must be accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the free plan deal work? Send us your email and contact info and we will email you a PDF version of the plans. We are sure you'll want to by the hardware from us, we are willing to send out the plans for free. Take you time and look them over to see if it is something you are comfortable with. If not then you loose nothing. If it is something you can think you can do order the mechanism and will send you out a complete package including a hard copy of the plans.
How much woodworking skills do I need? Not much for the alpine. For the most part if you know how to work saws and drills and read a tape measure, you can build this. There is a DVD to help you along the way and if you need further help, I can always be contacted. I've built hundreds of these. chris@wwbeds.com
Can I build any other styles besides the Alpine? Yes, The instructions are for the Alpine, but the main difference in each style is the face panel. Some style just require adding some molding to that panel, some require that it be replaced with something different. I can hand write some instruction modifications if you'd like to build other versions. BONUS OFFER: As a bonus I am sending a supplement to build our Hudson Bay. (Make sure you ask for it when ordering)
What if I need help during the building process? My name is Chris and I am the building and designer of most of the beds you see. If you have any questions contact me chris@wwbeds.com or 501-753-9699.
What sizes does the kit build? You can build twin, full, or queen in both the vertical and horizontal directions. I will need to know at the time of ordering what size and direction of bed you'd like.
After I buy the mechanism can I upgrade to the pre-cut? Yes, if you get to the point that you don't have the time to build it from scratch, you can still purchase pre-cut version without the mechanism. You can even purchase one of our completed units and we'll give you a credit for the entire price of the mechanism including shipping.
Do you a sample video? Yes, a 10 minuet segment of the video can be view at Murphy Video site. If you'd like to watch the entire video before purchasing the entire kit, a full length DVD can be purchased. The sale price will be deducted from the kit price when you decide on the order. (Click here for more information)
I can't get the video link to work? The most common problem with viewing the video is your flash player isn't up-to-date. Don't worry, we send a DVD out with the kits.
There are so many piece to that pre-cut, how will I ever keep them straight? We individually lable each piece and hardware pack so that there are no confusion during the building process.
