Default Murphy Bed - Sliding Wall

Yes I think it does, the sliding shelves are simply an extra mechanism
over
and above the Murphy bed hardware. However, for the purpose of replying
to
the OP's potential customer, I'd guess the sliding shelf setup as
referenced
is not as viable or as desirable as one would first think by looking at
the
pictures. It *does* look like a pretty setup though.


No - the sliding shelves is what she wants - but looking at the pic, they
seem to hang down - not ride on the floor.
Im curious on the hanging/sliding mechanism.

Basically the 2 center units open (slide left and right) to reveal the bed
which then folds down.

I wouldn't care to have anything that heavy hanging. Besides, it's
be hard to hide the mechanism I'd think. I'd say it rolls on wheels.
I'd say use skateboard wheels. Of course, after time, you're gonna get
wheel marks on the floor, but that's easily taken care of - use a little
throw rug to hide 'em. Or, you could have the center split, so it opens
like a double door. That'd take eaither some pretty hefty hinges, or
use wheels again. Or, liskke Usacle says, usethe regular Murphy bed
furniture - could it still be called a Murphy bed if you didn't?


I'm puzzled... wouldn't the unit on the referenced web page use
regular murphy bed hardware, attached to the shelving unit?
