Overall solid kit for DIY. Make sure you double measure the holes for the lift arm. It's a pain to fix later. You will need 2 people for final assembly (I made a Queen). Order extra 1 1/4 screws and be sure to not rely on recommended drill sizes for self-purchased hardware. Directions are not super detailed but we're sufficient.

Superb quality components. Bought the DIY version (mechanism only). the instructions are first-rate. The only wrinkle was that I was building this into a converted closet in a 1913 home, so nothing in the house is level. The instructions assume a freestanding cabinet built on a level floor and square walls in a new construction house. BUT IT CAN BE DONE!Adaptations:-- When drilling for mechanism holes, use the TOP of the board as your frame of reference since that HAS TO be square to make the thing work. You'll have to do some math. The bottom can then be shaved off or shimmed up marginally to allow for a sloping floor.-- When drilling holes for the bed frame stiffeners and the cleats, go ahead and countersink the holes properly. The 1¼-inch screws don't set flush if you use seasoned wood like I did, so they didn't get the grip needed. I actually added a stiffener near the head of the bed because it seemed weak there. Just don't get in the way of the three holes for the mechanism.-- Used fewer springs than the instructions called for...AND WATCH THE VIDEOS. My springs were super tight and stiff and did not go on easily. When I got eight on each side (Queen size mattress) it was so stiff the bed would not pull down at all. Ended up using five a side and it moves easily.-- Now, back to measuring. The clearances are tight with the measurements in the instructions. Luckily my brother is a bit OCD so our pieces are right on. It is SO critical that the two mechanisms are mounted exactly at the same levels, because if things are off even a small amount, it cants the frame, and it will not fit properly when going back into the cabinet. Where the legs go in, you have like 1/16th clearance on each side. Because my house was even more warped than I allowed for, there were several adjustments and trial fittings over a week of experimentation until I got it right.-- I actually made my cabinet carcass deeper than the instructions because I had the space. That allowed a shelf over the headboard for charging phones, etc. I also put in electrical and lights because why not? This will allow space for the pillows to be stored in the cabinet with the bed up. All the instructions have measurements from either the face or bottom of the side pieces, so you can go deeper pretty easily. However, that messes up the cut list and layout they include. Don't forget to make adjustments.-- Trimmed out the front of the piece to look like built-in cabinets and drawers. Pulls for the upper "doors" are the handles to open the bed. The baseboard in front of the unit is 5½-inch colonial profile, and it is sitting in front of the face of the case. It opens fine, and when it closes the face snugs up to the back of the baseboard and you can't tell it's not attached.

I received my package late and it did not come with instructions.

We needed a double bed in our tiny approximately 8 X 10 guest room. A murphy bed was the best alternative as it enables us to use the space when a bed isn't needed. My husband was able to build a lovely bed using this kit for the mechanical parts. An issue caused by rough handling by the shipper was quickly remedied by Wilding Wallbeds. I'm giving Easy to Assemble four stars because it was not a quick and easy project and also, per my husband, a large clear area is needed to build this bed. We're glad that we ordered the parts required from a solid American company rather than ordering the cheapest ones on the market or buying a finished murphy bed.

Works great, requires a bit of work to make the bed, but worth it!
