    Thanks Shella and Lulu. One of the things I love is the slim profile when it is not in use.

    It looks like there already is a big bed in there?...why 2 beds in one room?

    KMS ... I have grand babies who still need to sleep with their parents close by. Also, when everyone comes home for those few days of the year (holidays) I need places to put everyone. At some point ... this may become the cousins room :)

    I just used door hinges on the bottom and of course the drawer handles on the front help control it as I lower it. Hence the reason for the lock. I don't want any little ones pulling it open on themselves!

    This is perfect for my sewing room. I need to put a bed type of thing and I was thinking futon but this will take less room. I have a guest room but when the kids and grands come the grands need to sleep somewhere. GREAT IDEA!! THANK YOU!!!
