Moddi Pictures!!!

I've received several emails and comments asking for pictures of a completed Moddi bed. I was going to build one myself and share the process with you, but after moving in to the new apartment, we discovered there was no room in the lounge.

Thankfully, Apt528 reader Stacy built a Moddi of her own and was kind enough to send in pictures. There were a few steps she had to modify, but other than that, it was a pretty easy process. Looking good!!

You mention "some modifications"; that makes me nervous. Everywhere I've seen these described, people say the same thing, but no one says what they are. Can you tell me, please?!

I asked Stacy but at the time she didn't have her mods written out and it's one of those things where if you don't write it down right away, you'll never remember exactely what it is you changed! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If anyone has completed a Moddi and has pics or modified directions, email me (india at apt528.com) and let me know. :)

Does it have legs or does it free float when you pull it down?

Thanks for the pictures. I'd love to know about the modifications too! are they minor or major?

I've been trying to get ahold of someone who's actually made the Moddi but haven't been able to. As soon as I find out more info I'll post it. In the meantime, I'm working on finding other DIY murphy beds...

And again, if you've made a moddi and have a list of possible modifications, please email them to india at apt528.com

Thanks!

Absolutely love this. Just wanted to hear back from Stacey on the pros and cons of The Moddi DIY Murphy Bed.
Better to hear about it from someone who actually has one as opposed to finding out the hard way,no thank you. Appreciate it. Thanks.

Is there a weight/support problem if the full size is mounted vertically?

Has anyone built a queen Moddi? If so, what modifications did you have to make in terms of extra support in the up position. I suppose I could slide bed risers under when it's down.

I have been working on building this bed from the plans provided. I am having trouble with the gas springs. When I called MSC-the company listed on the parts sheet to order the gas springs from-they said they have ran into this problem before. They say the parts list has the wrong item number listed for the gas springs. I cannot seem to get a response from anyone about the plans. Please help ASAP!

I sure hope that isn't the only door to that room, or that the door opens outward- the doorway seems to be completely blocked by the bed when down.

I think that's probably a closet, anyways r there any legs on this or r the springs the only thing holding the bed up??
