The clean-lined, rectangular frame is made from engineered wood with a two-tone white and rustic, neutral finish. It features an open-frame with a rectangular headboard that goes from floor to ceiling via a dual-piston mechanism – housing the rest of the bed when you fold it up.

The wall bed MUST be attached to 3-4 wall studs for safety and stability. Professional installation IS required.
