AFIDeerfield Murphy Bed Chest with Charging Station, Queen, Burnt Amber

The quality was good except for bed slats to thin and-pieced and jointed together vs single slat of stronger wood. Anyone who was getting into bed or out and used their knee broke the slat.

***I loved this murphy bed and would have given it 4 or 5 stars until I experienced a issue that is a safety concern.***Clever design with some thoughtful features (love the charging station) and a very comfortable mattress.ASSEMBLY: Fairly easy (I handled it all by myself) except that the bore hole for one of the final pieces was not drilled deep enough, therefore the bolt feeding through this hole for the stopper to be secured to the drawer would not make contact with the threading of its target hole and "grip". I have yet to either find a longer bolt of the same width that will feed through and make contact, or borrow a tool to bore the hole deeper. Since it's not a part vital to the functionality of the bed, I'll leave it for now. Some of the original drill holes were a little off, especially egregious when I attempted to attach the middle hinge of the bed platform onto the chest and saw how crooked they had drilled the intended holes.CHARGING STATION: 2 USB-A ports (not fast charging but they work, and based on performance I will venture to guess they're outputting more than 1A each). USB-C ports would be a useful upgrade for their future products. Also, two 3-prong outlets for everything else.USE: Bed is easy to unfold and set up by yourself. TIP: The front half of the top panel can flip back, however this isn't necessary to unlatch and unfold the front (I believe it's just an added feature so (A) people are less likely to hit their heads and (B) so people don't feel claustrophobic if they sleep with their heads on that side; I for one enjoy that enclosed feeling so I leave the panel down. It lends to a better night's sleep for me.) Not bothering with that folding panel also gives you the freedom to decorate on top of the chest (i.e. a lamp, vase, etc.). If it's necessary for your comfort to "open the sunroof" as I call it, know that you should either not keep anything on top, or just keep a few easily moved pieces. Also to note: if you need anything that you're keeping in that bottom drawer, be sure to take it out BEFORE you open the bed because otherwise you'll have to fold everything back up again. The drawer is inaccessible when the bed is in its open position (you can pull it forward if you want, but unless you have very tiny hands, you won't be able to slip anything out of the narrow space).SAFETY ISSUE: Looking at the design of the piece when unfolded, you see the support leg underneath the foot of the bed angles forward in its open and "locked" position. This is a serious design flaw when coupled with the fact that there's nothing locking the leg in place as there is for the midsection of the bed (the top set of "drawers" comes down to become a base/stand for the middle portion; this panel thankfully has locks.) Additionally, there are no sort of anti-slip pads on its feet. As I was sitting towards the foot of the bed, that leg failed and slipped all the way forward, thereby causing the front of the bed to collapse towards the floor. ***THIS IS A PART THAT COMES PREASSEMBLED AND ATTACHED, so the issue can't be chalked up to user error during assembly.***This is a serious safety issue, as any normal person would expect to be able to sit at the edge of a bed, especially one that's otherwise so ingeniously designed. Not only that, but this being a queen-sized bed, it's not far-fetched to expect that at times there may be more than one person with their weight on different parts of the bed. Indeed, looking at the included assembly guide, I see no warnings that say you SHOULDN'T sit at the foot. When the involved beam broke, you could see it's just held in place with two wooden dowels on either side. That may be fine for any of the other slats, but when it's attached to this moving piece and is weight-bearing, two mere dowels (you can see in my pictures that the dowels broke) is unacceptable. FURTHERMORE, BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND/OR SMALL PETS LIKE I DO (A CAT AND TWO DOGS) WHO OFTEN LIKE TO HIDE UNDER FURNITURE. DEFINITE CRUSHING HAZARD***Finally, I've shopped around at different websites for this specific color, Burnt Amber. In person, I'm disappointed that it's more of an espresso with a slight hint of red/auburn. It was intended to match the lighter walnut-shade of the trim around my bay window as well as the bookcase; it's not a perfect match as it's too dark, but it's still a beautiful piece. The other light wood versions were too light for my taste.Sadly, Atlantic Furniture is currently closed due to the COVID-19 epidemic and I don't know exactly how I will get this broken bed resolved at the moment. Either way, everyone stay safe and protect your families. Thanks for reading.

I have a small room to use for guests. This is perfect. Pulling out the bed is very easy. Putting it away took a bit of fussing with the mattress not wanting to move smoothly. Not a big problem. No metal rods to gouge sleepers..

good value for it's purpose. you should have a medium amount of mechanical aptitude. because the hold on a top connection was a little too low, I had to use one longer bolt due to grip length. otherwise, everything fit up pretty well. if you have that medium mechanical ability, pictures were fully adequate for assembly. zipper broke on mattress cover the first time it was checked. it broke so easily, I almost think it was already broke.

Well manufactured, assembly went well. The outer cross brace on mattress platform had too much flex, and could break if stood on or sat on, so I had to reinforce it.I would have like to have known its origin of manufacturing before I purchased (Vietnam). This would have weighed in on my decision.

The first time we had someone use the bed they sat in the end and one of the slats broke immediately. Since that first time we have had all the slats on the end portion of the bed break because someone sat on the end of the bed. It is now not fixable and unusable. The piece looks so sturdy and well made until you actually use it for what it is intended for.

None of the pieces were labeled, you can figure it out, but it would be better if they were labeled. “Predrilled” holes were not aligned properly and the middle hinge (pictured) was crooked. Drawer doesn’t glide very well, but will work. Once assembled, I think it will be fine for what we need, but instructions were vague and difficult to comprehend, my husband and I are very handy.

Whomever designed the front leg on this bed did a horrible job. It’s angled so any weight put on the bed is applied directly to the joint. The first day it was sat on, all of the screws popped. Today, the joint board completely shattered and is now worthless. I had tried to work with the company on a resolution the first time but they just quit responding. I’m saddened by the quality of an expensive piece of furniture.
