This shows a library murphy bed in the open position. The library doors slide from the centre to either side to allow the bed to open. The doors do not touch the floor. A wall bed like this will allow you to leave 250 lbs of books or nick nacks on the shelves. The doors are supported by 2 hawa tracks. Michael Tennant designed this murphy bed and John Tennant installed the unit for London Murphy Beds, Inc. doing business as Ontario Murphy Beds. He also took this picture of the murphy bed using an iPhone 4.
