Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Merax Murphy Bed requires two adults and approximately 12-16 hours. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included manual. Sort all parts by their labels before starting.

1. Unpacking and Inspection: Carefully unpack all boxes. Identify and lay out all components and hardware. Report any missing or damaged parts immediately.
2. Base Assembly: Assemble the main cabinet structure according to the instructions. Pay close attention to the orientation of panels and hardware.
3. Wall Anchoring: This is a critical safety step. The main cabinet must be securely anchored to a sturdy wall stud using the provided wall mounting hardware. Failure to do so can result in the unit tipping over.
4. Bed Frame Integration: Install the folding bed frame mechanism into the cabinet. Ensure all hinges and gas springs operate smoothly.
5. Slat Installation: Place the wooden slats onto the bed frame. These slats provide mattress support, eliminating the need for a box spring.
6. Desk and Storage Assembly: Attach the integrated desk, side cabinets, and drawers. Connect the wiring for the LED lights and power outlets.
7. Mattress Placement: Once fully assembled and anchored, place a queen-size mattress (6"-8" thick) onto the bed frame.

Using the Integrated Desk

The built-in desk folds down from the front of the cabinet when the bed is in the closed position. It provides a dedicated workspace without needing to clear items when converting to a bed.

1. When the bed is closed, gently pull the desk panel forward and down. It will pivot into a horizontal working surface.
2. To store the desk, lift it back up until it clicks securely into place against the cabinet front.
