chapala45900 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Has anyone had one made at Have Hammers? What was your Experience? I need one ready in a month, and would appreciate your input. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I don't know about the Hammers people. But I have built a murphy bed just from the hydraulics, instructions and hinges. It was a lot of work, heavy, and looked clunky. I then thought about importing them to Mexico. I went to this factory and was very impressed with the steel tube construction and the service. I couldn't meet the owner to negotiate an international dealership. He was having personal problems of the worst type. He had beautiful wife. They went to Hawaii for a Tony Robbins miotivation seminar, he motivated the wife alright, she left her husband to live in Hawaii to be with Tony. The husband was of course as the English say "gutted". One cool thing you can do with Murphy beds is to install a big screen tv and speakers when they are up. Instead of an "enormous black hole" as designers call them. Here is the company I visited, they seem to have U.S. distributors, and I think it would be faster and lighter if you just ship the hardware. Then you get any finish you want. Mexican rustica or plastic laminate. apparently saving you up to $800 ,according to their website. Mexican customs has some inconsistant rules about shipping wood into Mexico, for example their public list includes a ban on wooden pencils, but you can buy them nearly everwhere. https://www.murphybeds.com/BuildABed/Mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bournemouth Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Cadillac Furniture on the carretera in Ajijic, just west of Juarez, mountain side, makes Murphy beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I love furniture that has a dual purpose and I love the combo desk/murphy bed system. You don't even have to clear off the desk when you lower the bed. There are videos available on the net that show how easy this is to put up and down. This is the most popular site for hardware and plans if you decide to go this route... a number of photos can be seen... twin or double or queen. https://www.rockler.com/hiddenbed-fold-out-bed-and-desk-mechanism Maybe Cadillac Furniture can do this for you.... Edited to add: one video... there are many more... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaDamer Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Again, not HaveHammaers related, but when we decided to get two Murphy beds installed about two years ago, we went with California Closets out of Guadalajara. They did a great job installing and customizing both sets.

chapala45900 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks to all, for help. I have called Cadillac Furniture several times only to be told he will call when he is at the shop, but has not. Likely very very busy. I appreciate the ideas and referrals and since I need it made in a month, I will get on it tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
