Default Murphy Bed - Sliding Wall

Had a client today that wants to put a Murphy Bed in her spare room.
He wants shelves on both sides w/ 2 Sliding Shelves that hide the bed when
its up.
Just like this :

Im curious on how the center Shelves slide open. Anyone have any
suggestions?
I have to figure each shelf would weigh about 100-150 when loaded. Also it
looks like it hangs from the top but not 100% sure.

Like I said - Im open to suggestions on some ideas on how to implement it.

Thanks

You might be able to use pocket door hardware. This website has
hardware that will hold up to 300 pounds per side

Will slide up to 48" per side.
