Step 1: Supplies
To get started with your hidden bed installation, you'll need to gather the necessary supplies. You'll need 6 sheets of 3/4" plywood, which can be a bit pricey, but it's essential for the bed's structure.
A good drill with various bits will come in handy, so make sure you have one of those. You'll also need a table saw and a jig saw for cutting the wood accurately.
For the bed's slats, you'll require 3-4 1x3 8ft boards. Don't forget to get a 2x4 or 2x3 for a support brace, which will add stability to the bed.

Here's a list of the essential tools and materials you'll need:
- 6 Sheets of 3/4" Plywood
- 2 - 1x2 Furring Strips
- 3-4 - 1x3 8ft boards
- 1 - 2x4 or 2x3 for a support brace
- Table Saw
- Jig Saw
- Drill + Bits
- Crescent Wrench
- Pocket Hole Jig Set
- Edge Banding
- Clothing Iron
- Finish Supplies (Brush, Finish, etc)
- HiddenBed Mechanism Kit
It's also a good idea to have a Forstner Bit set and a HVLP Set on hand, which can be used for various tasks throughout the installation process.

Attaching Frame to Cabinet
You'll need an allen wrench to attach the trunnion bolt through the bed frame into the arm mounting plate. This is a crucial step in the process.
It's a good idea to follow along with a video, like the one from a cabinet maker in Oregon, to get a better visual of this step. His design has better visibility, making it easier to understand.
To mount the frame to the cabinet, you'll need to break out your stud finder and locate a couple of studs. This will ensure a secure attachment.
Simple 3" L brackets can be used for this job, and they're a more affordable option at $10.

Step 2: Design
Designing your custom wallbed solution requires some creativity and flexibility. You may need to reinterpret plans to make them easier to understand.
I've been there myself, trying to make sense of complex instructions. It's not always easy to follow someone else's design, so I drew my own hand-drawn version to simplify the process.
To maintain accuracy, focus on the position and measurements of hardware mounts and other key components. This will help you visualize the final product.
You don't have to follow every detail of the original plan. In fact, I didn't even follow my own plans 100%. I adjusted placement and pocket holes as needed, so feel free to do the same.
