We debated on posting this very lovely murphy bed for our readers for one reason only, the price. Before we give away the goods though we wanted to point out what a fantastic idea this is in general. A stylish couch and living area and a stashed away bed. If you were living in a studio apartment this would be genius or if you wanted to have a place for friends to crash when they came into town.
Mobelform: Murphy bed
So drum roll please...this lovely piece of furniture can be yours for a mere $18,770 we're sure shipping and installation isn't included, so plan ahead with your pennies. Secretly, we're hoping our favorite Swedes are watching and figure out how to make this happen for $299.
Slightly serious here, slightly kidding... if you have the dollars to make this happen we applaud you-if not, we can only hope to be this efficient with our space someday soon.

that price is jsut preposterous
if that includes every piece of that ensemble, it's not totally ludricous.
The price isn't entirely out of line, but one has to ask...if someone can afford $10k+ in furniture, would they be living in a space that requires a murphy bed?
Even if it's for a guest, if you're the income bracket to afford similar pieces, I'd assume you can afford to have a dedicated guest room. Buying this and putting this in your living space requires you to be completely locked-in and will prevent you from experimenting with future pieces.
Why do people assume that "People who have the money to afford this don't live in a space that require a Murphy Bed" I may be an early adopter or a nut job but I love the fact that companies are realizing that the desire/need to live in smaller spaces extends across the financial landscape.
Some people choose to live in cities like Manhattan, London, or Tokyo. If you're the kind of person who would buy this, then you'd just as easily spend $20,000 USD on Dellarobbia to outfit your living room. Even if Ikea redesigned a flat-pack version of this, it would not be $299.
Wow, $18,000 for a murphy bed. Ive seen them for like $2k at www.wallbedfactory.com
