Package Contents
Your Wilding Wallbeds P100T kit includes the following hardware components:
- Pistons
- Pivot posts and plates
- Assembly hardware
- Tubular legs with a metal connecting rod
- Detailed step-by-step instruction booklet with diagrams, cut list, and construction plans

Setup and Assembly
The assembly process involves several steps, including wood preparation, hardware installation, and final mounting. Refer to the included instruction booklet for precise measurements and diagrams.
1. Wood Material and Cutting
It is recommended to use furniture-grade plywood for your cabinet bed. MDF can be used but may result in a heavier bed. Particle board is not recommended. The instruction booklet provides a detailed cut list and panel layouts for various bed sizes, including Twin. You can make cuts yourself using a table saw or circular saw with a guide, or have a hardware store cut the pieces for you.

2. Edge Banding
Apply edge banding to the cut wood pieces as indicated in the instructions. This can be done using an iron and a sharp chisel for trimming. The instruction manual includes a QR code linking to a video tutorial for professional edge banding techniques.
3. Drilling and Assembly
Pre-drill all holes as specified in the instructions. For larger holes, start with a small drill bit to create a pilot hole, then use a larger Forstner bit to drill halfway through from one side, and then flip the piece to complete the hole from the other side for a clean cut. Assemble the bed box components using screws and wood glue for added durability.
4. Mechanism Installation
Install the pistons, pivot posts, and plates according to the diagrams. The P100T kit features a piston lift system designed for smooth and effortless operation, supporting up to 1,500 lbs.

Operating Instructions
To open the Murphy bed, gently pull the handles on the cabinet face downwards. The piston lift mechanism will assist in lowering the bed smoothly. The tubular legs will articulate and extend to support the bed. To close, lift the bed frame upwards, guiding the legs back into position, until the bed is securely stored vertically within the cabinet.

Maintenance
- Regularly inspect all hardware and connections for tightness. Tighten any loose screws or bolts.
- Keep the piston mechanism clean and free from debris.
- Wipe down wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Ensure the bed operates smoothly. If you notice any stiffness or unusual noises, contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
- Bed is difficult to lift or lower: Check the tension adjustment on the piston mechanism. Ensure no obstructions are present.
- Squeaking or grinding noises: Lubricate moving parts of the mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant.
- Bed does not stay securely closed/open: Verify that all mounting hardware is properly secured to the wall studs.
