The biggest lesson I learned from this is you MUST "read and follow the directions" which is not easy for me because I tend to grab the cut-sheet and go. But when it says to read the plans AND watch the video, it's critical advice since I found details missing in the plans that were included in the video and vice versa. Sometimes the order of steps is different in the plans and the video shows why the order of steps is important. You really need both plans and video and lots of attention to detail to make sure the hardware is installed exactly where it needs to be. I found it easiest to convert the DVD to video on my iPad and keep it handy in the workshop. PROS: Easy to follow plans when accompanied by video. High quality hardware that installs easily if plans are followed. Operates smoothly and looks great! Lots of options to customize. CONS: One shortfall of the kit is the fact it shows options without providing any details or dimensions. For instance, you can build decorative picture frames for the plywood front to simulate doors and drawers. But you must leave a 1/2 to 3/4" gap between the bottom of the picture frame and the baseboard trim or it will bind when opening. MODIFICATIONS: I found that as long as strict attention was paid to the mechanical portions, you can extend vertical supports to create a taller wall unit with bookcase. Just ensure you retain a header that is firmly attached to wall studs. We added a light bridge/shelf and installed the Rockler Murphy Bed Lighting Kit that is available on their website, but not on desertcart for some reason. There is a 12" and 60 lb limit on mattresses and after consulting with Create-a-bed folks, I learned the horizontal bed is much more forgiving on weight when the mattress is hinged on longitudinal axis vs. the traditional vertical Murphy bed. We used a 78 lb, hybrid inner-spring/memory foam mattress that is VERY comfortable, reasonably priced, and works perfectly in the horizontal bed. I am attaching a few photos that show the basic bed I built. Missing is the matching bookcase and crown molding that ties the two together, but you'll get the idea. (The mattress looks a little lumpy in the picture because it just came out of the packaging and is still inflating. After a few hours, it grew to a full 12" pillow-top and looks great!) Review: Incredibly detailed instructions! - Okay, first off, the hardware that come with this kit is high quality. It will definitely last 30+ years. Also, the instructions are very detailed. I feel like a novice carpenter could navigate this build with ease. So, for those considering how much the wood cost would be. We spent between $700-800 on lumber. Hefty price because we went with birch plywood, which was about $85 per 0.75 inch sheet. You end up needing (4) 0.75 inch sheets, (2) 0.25 inch sheets, and about 12-15 pieces of solid wood boards. So you'll end up spending around $1,000 for the entire project at least. Not including what finish you decide to go with. Another thing to consider, for this to go smoother, make sure you have this equipment: table saw, skill saw, jigsaw, drill, drill bits, hammer, nail gun, clamps, forstner bits(very important!), and a helper (needed). My father-in-law had the saws, and helped me build most of it. My wife assisted me with the rest of it. It's well worth the time and money. High quality and very good looking. We're beyond satisfied with the result. WARNING - when installing everything into your desired location, MAKE SURE you secure the header to your wall first. We tried to secure the headboard to the studs before the header and the bed nearly snapped us (4 adults) in half. The gas pistons are no joke! ## Features - TIME TESTED: Our kits have stood the test of time for over 35 years. If you’re going to build a high-quality murphy bed, you want it to last a lifetime.

We’re big on quality, and to back it up, each bed comes with a lifetime warranty. The design, thickness of steel, and commercial grade pistons are meant to last a lifetime and then some. - Vertical TWIN finished measurements: 82 1/8 in H x 44 7/8 in W x 15 7/8 in D (closed) x 83 in D (open) - NOT INCLUDED: Lumber and Mattress (Innerspring Twin Mattress size up to 39W x 75L in x 6 to 12 in H) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CYPQWN8 | | Assembly Instructions Description | Included | | Best Sellers Rank | #155,885 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #207 in Beds | | Brand Name | Create-A-Bed | | Color | Black | | Compatible With Mattress Size | twin | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,141 Reviews | | Finish Types | Steel | | Form Factor | Vertical Twin Wall Bed Frame | | Furniture Finish | Alloy Steel | | Headboard Material | plycore, particle board, solid wood | | Included Components | Item | | Item Depth | 15.875 inches | | Item Dimensions | 82 x 44 x 82.13 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 82"L x 44"W x 82.13"H | | Item Weight | 11.4 pounds | | Manufacturer | Create-A-Bed | | Manufacturer Part Number | Twin UB Deluxe | | Material | Steel | | Material Type | Steel | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 500 pounds | | Model Number | Twin UB Deluxe | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Adjustable | | Product Dimensions | 82"L x 44"W x 82.13"H | | Set Name | Deluxe Murphy Bed Kit Set | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | Twin - Vertical | | Special Feature | Adjustable | | Storage Options | Vertical Storage | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 82"L x 44"W x 82.13"H - **Size:** Twin - Vertical - **Special Feature:** Adjustable - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Twin Size Deluxe Murphy Bed Kit, Vertical - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8121QSWO0pL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much wood is needed for a basic installation: no side shelves, book cases, etc? Does one need a table saw?** A: For a basic installation, which is the one that I made, you need 4 sheets of 3/4" X 4' X 8' and 2 sheets of 1/4" X 4' X 8'. Table saw is not needed but pretty useful. I went to Home Depot and they cut 80% of the pieces needed, they don't cut anything under 12 inches. I had to cut the other pieces with a table saw, very useful since the cuts were really straight. **Q: when finished, approximately how far does the cabinet stick out from the wall? (i.e.: how deep is it?)** A: 16", per the instructions. However, most people these days have pillow-top mattresses, which the instructions do not account for. You would have to modify the cut list by adding about 2" of width to the vertical panels to fit most pillow-top mattresses. This would make the murphy cabinet protrude about 18". Doing so would add any additional sheet of ply to the cut list the hardware manufacturer provides-- for budgeting purposes. **Q: How tall are the legs?** A: From the floor to the bottom of the bed it is 6" from the floor to the board the mattress sits on is 91/2" , we used a 14" thick mattress on ours and from the floor to the top of the mattress it is 22" . Hope this is a help to you. The bed is quite a chore to build but we really like it **Q: Can i use this to make a twin xl bed and what weight can this support up too?** A: No you can not as it is. You can call the company directly, tell them what you are planning and they will exchange the pistons and give you new directions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well engineered and works exactly as advertised. *by D***E on December 29, 2016* This was a fun project that allowed us to turn a grown kid's bedroom into a home office that accommodates guests.

The bed lifts up and down easily. It is so convenient to be able to pull down a guest bed at a moment's notice. So glad we built this unit. My plan is to build a twin in my "she shed" studio. Looking forward to the next project. PREVIOUS REVIEW: This is an incredibly well made hardware kit. The instructions are spot on accurate and the DVD instruction disc shows each step in perfect detail. The woman who narrates provides clear, precise instruction while the man is shown completing each step in the building project. We actually took our computer out to our work area and used the DVD as a reference as we went along. All templates and instructions are included with a complete list of materials that you will need. We ordered the horizontal, queen size because we didn't want it to look overly tall and we are glad that we did. The wall we put it on is about 10 feet and it takes up most of it. The trim and color decision is left up to you. One warning: if you are building a large unit like we did, assemble everything as close to your final area as possible because it is VERY heavy. We have gotten many "oohs" and "ahhs" over our Murphy Bed. Several friends have wanted to know where we got it and we readily tell them. You might be interested to know that we are two women ages 57 and 70 and didn't require any help in building it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Create-A-Bed Twin Size Deluxe Murphy Bed Kit, Vertical - Edge Supply Birch 3/4” X 250' Roll of Plywood Edge Banding – Pre-glued Real Wood Veneer Edging – Flexible Veneer Edging – Easy Application Iron-on Edge Banding for Furniture Restoration - KETIPED Woodworking Edge Trimmer, Hand Planer Edge Bander for Burrs,Edge Corner Planer,Wood Chamfering Fillet Scraper,Edge Banding Cutter for PVC ABS Melamine Veneer,Deburring Tool,MG-022BK --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/3362837-twin-size-deluxe-murphy-bed-kit-vertical](https://www.desertcart.no/products/3362837-twin-size-deluxe-murphy-bed-kit-vertical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
