The video by Night & Day Furniture will guide you through each step, ensuring a smooth unpacking and assembly process.
Start by carefully unpacking the heavy box and following the detailed assembly instructions. Make sure to align the drawer base wheels and levelers properly and double-check the alignment before completing the setup. With patience and attention to detail, you’ll soon have your Murphy cabinet bed unpacked and assembled, ready to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.
Murphy Cabinet Bed Unpacking
When unpacking your Murphy Cabinet Bed, the first step is to turn the box upside down with the help of another person as it is a two-person job. Carefully cut through the tape and open all four flaps to access the contents of the box. After opening, turn the box right-side up, cut the tape on the top, fold back all four flaps, and remove the hardware box attached to a string. Lift the box over the cabinet and place it on the floor to clear out all packing materials. Ensure the cabinet is facing front, use a box for protection, unlatch both latches, and fold down the cabinet face to find the assembly instructions, hardware box, and remove all packing materials. With the help of another person, carefully remove the box containing the drawer base unit.
Murphy Cabinet Bed Assembly
After unpacking, align the drawer base wheels and levellers by using a piece of paper to ensure they touch the ground. Adjust the levellers as needed. Carry out alignment checks on all four corners to verify smooth extension movement and alignment on thick carpets. Assemble the drawer base by latching both sides, laying a soft blanket, and placing the top of the cabinet. Then, turn it onto its top face, remove bolts, allen key, dowels, and remove disposable wood blocks to clear holes for debris. Align the base unit with the cabinet, feed the electric cord through the hole, and secure bolts using the allen key. Lift the cabinet onto the base and adjust hard-to-reach bolts. Attach knobs to the cabinet and drawer base to complete the assembly.
Two-Person Task
Working in pairs for assembly is recommended for safety and ease. Having another person assist you in unpacking and assembling the Murphy Cabinet Bed ensures the process goes smoothly and efficiently. Communication and teamwork are key to successfully assembling the bed.
Alignment Check
Checking the alignment of the wheels and levellers is crucial to ensure stability and proper functioning of the Murphy Cabinet Bed. Make sure all wheels and levellers are touching the ground by using a piece of paper to adjust as necessary. Verify alignment on thick carpets and ensure the extension moves smoothly under full weight.
Hardware Removal
Remove disposable wood blocks and clear holes for debris before assembling the bed. Tapping in dowels and lifting the base unit should be done carefully to prevent any damage to the bed. Remove the disposable wood blocks as they play a part in securing the dowels before lifting the base unit onto the cabinet.
Final Inspection
Conduct a final inspection of the Murphy Cabinet Bed to check the extension movement, levellers, and wheels. Make sure all components are functioning smoothly and are properly aligned. Any adjustments that need to be made can be addressed during this final inspection.
Orientation and Positioning
Properly aligning the base unit with the cabinet is essential for the stability and aesthetics of the Murphy Cabinet Bed. Ensure the back of the base unit lines up with the back of the cabinet, and feed the electric cord through the designated hole for a clean look. Position the cabinet where desired and roll the drawer into the cabinet to complete the orientation and positioning process.
Securing Bolts
Using an Allen key to tighten bolts during assembly is necessary to ensure the stability of the Murphy Cabinet Bed. Adjusting hard-to-reach bolts may require the use of the longer end of the Allen key to reach into tight spaces. Properly secure all bolts to prevent any wobbling or instability of the bed.
Awkward Maneuver
Turning the cabinet on its back and lifting it onto its base can be an awkward maneuver during the assembly process. It is important to have another person assist in this step to prevent any accidents or damage to the bed. Supporting the cabinet while turning it and lifting it onto its base should be done carefully to avoid any mishaps.
Conclusion
By following the steps outlined in the Murphy Cabinet Bed assembly process, you can complete the task with care and precision. Working with another person for unpacking, aligning, assembling, and securing the bed ensures a smoother and safer assembly experience. Double-checking alignment, hardware, and functionality during the final inspection will result in a well-assembled Murphy Cabinet Bed that is ready to use. Enjoy your new furniture piece!
