I am planning on building a murphy bed that folds down sideways. Do you see any issues with using this hardware?

The hardware is very sturdy and well made. The instructions, including the video, are excellent.

Ted,The only experience I have had is with the vertical pull down. I am very pleased with it and everyone marvels on it when I pull it down. I bought the entire system including the dvd. I highly recommend this even if it costs a few bucks more. The video will show you exactly how to do it. It works great. I bought this for my own house and would do it again if the opportunity arises, minus the dvd because I have it.I am thinking the horizontal should give the same info and work just as good.Good luck,Dave

I would go around an tighten all your screws. My bed is pretty solid. I put it together by myself with a weak shoulder. (FYI-I am a woman)

Yes you can! But! Don't fold it up in the bed. Sharp creases are not good for it. Make sure you read the care and instructions. It works very well on our hide-a-bed in our fifth wheel. This is the second one we bought. The first one I left in the freezing cold during the winter when we stored our Rev. The previous comment about it being unstable I found to not be the case at all there is a circular bladder around the perimeter that prevents someone from rolling off of it. Its comfortable, you can control the firmness and should fit the bill!

I like the installation features, if i want to use an open bed, the panels folds back securely. I like it

I haven't had problems, but bear in mind that I don't use it real often. I know it should not collapse. Hope it helps.

yes. It's easy to fold and roll away to where you want. Just make sure the use the "clip" provided so the bed won't unfold during movement.

ASA long as you have the proper area to mount the hardware then I do not see why it shouldn't be OK. It comes with very easy slides for mounting. I would just check that the dimensions fit your space.

It depends on how well you secure it. If its half empty and you're not careful about how its tied down, yes. If you tuck and fold it, no problem at all.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just be aware of possible warping of the 2x6's. If your bed is long, moisture could lead to crevices opening up between the boards. Also, you might have to add a few screw holes for sufficient attachment of the boards.

it weighs 80lbs, so maybe if attached it to the frame. a murphy bed folds into the wall right? if so it would depend on the frame and how the frame is attached to the wall

Yes, no problem folding the bed with the pad on it. It's very nice quality but not so thick that the mattress doesn't fit properly when folded.

it doesn't come with any hardware. The thing unfolds and you drop out legs and then extended out support bars and thumb screw then in, So yes you need hardware. I didn't attach mine. But did plastic strap them together in middle. I Have a king mattress.

I had no problem, but remember not to tighten any of the bolts until they are all in place. That provides the wiggle room that you may need.

I leave it out in my basement for two reasons. One, if I had to drag it out from under the bed, it wouldn't get used as often. Two, unless your bed is higher than most, it will not fit and even if you take the stability bar off, what it fits into would have to be removed from the legs every time. It does come folded, but it takes almost 20 minutes to put it together (minimum 20 minutes), so unless you are more determined than I am, I would not do that every time I decide to use it.

It would, but it would be pretty heavy for that. you could make one out of wood and it could fold flat. you need 2 inches of clearance from the board to where you mount the hardware. I would say it makes a lot more sense to use wood, or grab a portable one from here. some are around 20 bucks anyways. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BqdPkaq5L._SL1000_.jpg

I don't use it that way but it is a very sturdy piece of hardware and you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes! Very unstable. And yes I did use all of the supplied screws. Haven't done anything to correct issue. I just relocated it to a different room and pray that no one runs into it.
