Assembly Instructions
1) Cabinet Assembly
a) Set up lever arm assembly on side panels by cutting ties,
rotating arm to the upper position and connecting loose
end of piston to bracket at bottom of leg with cotter pin
and key provided. Secure the cotter pin by bending ends.
b) Assemble cabinet sides to top panel (trimmed edge to
front) with lag bolts.
c) Attach lower strongback between sides with lag bolts.
2) If optional freestanding legs are to be used, they may now
be attached by placing the legs in position at the ends of the
side panels with the leg edge extending 1/8” beyond the
bottom edge of the side. Drive the six 1 ¼” self tapping
screws (packed with the legs) from the inside face of the side
through to the leg. The six screws should be placed in an
open 3-3 pattern for each leg.
3) Mattress Tray & Desk Assembly
a) Place tray on floor finished face UP
b) Mount tray ends to tray with lag bolts.
Bearer Hole
c) Place desk tray vertically on tray assembly and attach with triangle
hinge plates, sleeves & bolts on both ends. Loosely assemble
sleeves & bolts to plate, insert in holes, attach remaining bolts,
then tighten all.
d) Attach bearer assembly (bolt, bearer through the wood to washer &
locknut) to each end of the desk. Tighten firmly, but leave enough
slack to adjust the position a bit later. Do not apply screws to the
flange holes now.
e) Attach brass locking assemblies to the inside of the bed end panels
in holes provided, using brass screws. Retract the pins for
assembly clearance.
f) Roll the entire assembly over so the desk surface is on the floor,
and the bed is in sleeping position.

4) Attach the bed to the cabinet
a) Stand the cabinet up behind the tray & desk assembly, and slide it
into position over the bed.
b) Line up the trunion hole in the bed tray with the connecting
threaded hole at the upper end of the lever arm bracket mounted to
the side panel.
c) From behind the unit, slide the trunion sleeve and bolt through the
hole in the tray toward the side and screw it into the threaded hole
in the lever arm bracket.
d) Once both trunions are in place, use the 10mm allen wrench to
firmly tighten the trunion bolts.
5) Mount to the wall
a) Using a Studfinder, locate three wall studs to be attached to (one
near the center of the bed, and one each nearest the sides), and
draw a vertical pencil line that will appear above the top and below
the upper strongback.
b) Move Hiddenbed™ into the desired location and lift and lock the
bed in the up position. Push some folded cardboard between the
sides and bed tray on each side to assure even spacing on both
sides. Mark the wall at each upper corner of the cabinet, then
cautiously unlock and lower the bed.
c) Attach to the wall studs by driving 2 ½” screws through the upper
strongback close to the top at the stud points marked, while making
sure the bed is at the corner locations you marked for alignment.
You MUST hit studs, as sheetrock or paneling will NOT hold the
bed up!
6) Insert mattress
a) Place your mattress in the tray after unrolling the straps, then strap
and buckle, rolling the excess and tucking it under one side.
7) Connect lever arm
a) Raise and LOCK the bed in the up position.
b) Hold the desk wing and pull the lever arm down to the bearer, then
release to connect gently with the bearer.
c) Verify that the desk is sitting fully up to the side panel. If it is not,
slightly loosen the bearer bolts allowing it to do so, then retighten
securely. Then apply screws to each of the three flange holes of
the bearer fittings on each end of the desk.
8) Use tips
a) This product is designed to hold mattresses up to 10” thick.
b) Lift pistons should NOT be lubricated!
c) Movement will be affected by the weight on the work surface. A load limit
of 100# is recommended.
d) Although the bed will remain closed by itself under most loads, the locks
should be used to assure a steady and safe work surface.
e) Operation is done by releasing the locks and pulling down on the upper
corner of the ‘wing,’ NOT
f) The work surface is not a safe seating area
g) This wood furniture is finished with a seven step stain and catalyzed
lacquer process, providing excellent resistance to most fluids and
abrasion. It is best cared for with a non-water or alcohol based polish
applied with a soft cloth.
Please keep these instructions for future reference. Moving the fully assembled unit is NOT recommended.
