The pull-out bed unit has been installed on its track and is operating smoothly. The bed rides on linear bearings recessed in the ceiling cavity and is supported by non-marring casters on the floor. In the stored position it aligns with the office/closet interface wall for a seamless transition. When bedtime rolls around, it is easily rolled out of the wall and flips down to reveal a queen size mattress. By combining standard Murphy Bed hardware in a custom case with an off-the-shelf set of linear bearings in the ceiling, the seemingly complex operation of moving a giant bed and storing it in a wall becomes deceptively simple.
