It's called a Murphy Bed.

In the next photo you can see a hinged joint on the L shaped base of the table that folds and lowers as the bed is revealed.

In the video below, the dining/queen bed combo is at the 1.30 mark.



SOURCE: Resource Furniture

Hafele also has Murphy kits for a Queen size but they don't seem to be available for the Malaysian market. They do have the Tavoletto which converts a single bed to a desk. You should still head to the showroom to discuss hardware options and mechanisms just so you have a better understanding in person (and maybe check on the availability of a Queen kit). They also have a sale coming up.

EDIT: Resource Furniture ships to port as well so if you're interested, drop them an email.

great share, but they seems to have office in KL and SG only. Buying from SG is nearer but its cross border = kastam tax. Buy from KL shipping gonna cost a bom.  rclxub.gif

No harm dropping an email to see what solutions meet your specific needs and get a quote. You can maximise shipping by buying all your hardware and decorative LED from Hafele (again, there's a sale coming up). Maybe find an ID who can co-ordinate woodwork and the hardware as well as drawing up ideas with you.

The way I see it, you don't necessarily need a Murphy bed given the amount of space you're working with.

If you're still very interested in transforming furniture, I found a Singapore firm that uses the same Italian manufacturer.

This will be my final layout... any comment?? Its base on actual measuring on the unit it self. The numbers at the side is by "foot".

If you have the budget or wiggle room, maybe move your deskspace to the living room instead? And then hide it behind a cabinet facade or a false feature wall. Maybe even make it look exactly the same as your closet.

That way you don't have to go back and forth from your work area to the kitchen or bathroom.

I considered that before. The reason i put my desktop there is because sometime I like to lie on by bed and watch movie. With that positionn i place My TV. I can't watch it from there. So i still have a desktop to watch drama if I wanted to.

I see. How big is your screen? Your bed is pretty far from your desk. hmm.gif

In my opinion, all developers in Malaysia are not honest. They give a product that is not up to standard in quality for the price paid. Everyone that I know of who have bought new properties (including me) always need to present developers with a list of defects and have to be at the mercy of waiting for developers to rectify those defects, causing delay in their own home renovation.  And I'm talking about defects that shouldn't be there in the first place...uneven wall, windows having paint stain, tiles missing, cement stain on floor/taps/windows, taps missing, tile cracks, etc...the list goes on and on. Most can't even pass the Quality ISO standard.

Never once did I hear of buyers who can start renovation immediately after they get the keys.

A+

You almost want to roll your eyes every time you see a defect that should not have been there in the first place. Really, developers rarely if ever care about their product quality anymore. So long as they have a product in exchange for your hard earned cash.

I only ever known one local small time developer here in Sabah who's a perfectionist as he handles the quality control himself. I swore I could have cried a bit just seeing his houses from the street.
