As for the cabinet, it is small in width and extends to the height of your wall. With this configuration, when your Murphy bed is closed, you only have a discreet cabinet in your room.

When should you choose a vertical retractable bed?

The opening direction of your Murphy bed will depend mainly on two criteria: the dimensions of your room and the person who will use the bed.
