Easy to Buy Off the Shelf Parts
The Moddi murphy bed is made of parts you can buy at any hardware store and Ikea. That means no expensive murphy bed mechanism needed. Plus, Ikea delivers and most of the other parts can be found on one isle at Home Depot. The only two parts that are purchased from a machine parts distributor. I will include the link to their site. And surprisingly, they have great customer service and overnight delivery.
NOTE: Some people have been running into a little difficulty finding the Stanley Gate Latch. Here is a link we’ve found: http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-808873-White-Fence-Latch/dp/B000LC9850
NOTE: IF YOU PURCHASED THE PLANS BEFORE DEC. 1ST, 2009, REPLACE THE GAS SPRING PART LISTED WITH MSC DIRECT WITH GAS SPRING PART #81999138
NOTE: IKEA IS NO LONGER CARRYING THE LILLEHAMMER BED, HOWEVER THEY CARRY THE EINA BED FRAME THAT WILL WORK IN ITS PLACE.
