Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the MERITLINE Queen Farmhouse Murphy Bed is required. An installation instruction manual with clear illustrations is shipped with the product. For optimal safety and ease, two people are recommended to complete the installation, which typically takes approximately 1 hour.
Key Assembly Steps and Tips:
- Wall Mounting: It is crucial to mount the Murphy bed securely to wall studs. This ensures stability and prevents the unit from tipping.
- Piston Installation: When installing the pistons, allow the bed frame to lay back into the cabinet box. This position provides the correct geometry for bolting the pistons into place.
- Hardware: Carefully check all included hardware against the parts list in your separate assembly manual. If any screws seem too short or are difficult to tighten, consider using higher quality replacements or wood glue for added reinforcement, especially in critical structural areas.
- Pre-drilled Holes: Verify that all pre-drilled holes are clear and fully open before attempting to insert screws or dowels. You may need to clear any obstructions.

Operating Instructions
The MERITLINE Queen Farmhouse Murphy Bed is designed for flexible living spaces, transforming from a compact cabinet to a comfortable queen-size bed with simple movements.
Folding and Unfolding the Bed:
- To Unfold: Ensure the area in front of the cabinet is clear of obstructions. Release any latches or locking mechanisms securing the bed in its vertical position. Gently pull the bed frame downwards. The hydraulic pistons will assist in a smooth, controlled descent until the bed is fully extended and the support legs are in place.
- To Fold: Remove all bedding and pillows from the bed. Lift the bed frame upwards, guiding it back into the cabinet. The pistons will assist in lifting the bed. Once vertical, secure the bed with the locking mechanisms to prevent accidental unfolding.
Using the LED Lights:
The integrated LED lights provide both ambiance and functionality. Locate the switch or sensor for the LED lights, typically positioned on the top or side of the cabinet. Activate the lights to create a cozy atmosphere or use them as a night light for safe movement in the dark.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued functionality of your Murphy bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe down wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
- Piston Functionality: If the bed becomes difficult to fold or unfold, check the hydraulic pistons for any signs of wear or damage. Do not attempt to repair damaged pistons yourself; contact customer support.
- LED Lights: If LED lights stop working, check the power connection. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
