Meet Moddi: The DIY Murphy Bed for Under $275.

by on Jan 31, 2008

Ikea hacking goes commercial with the Moddi: a DIYable murphy bed made from 12 Ikea Lack side tables and a bit of hardware. According to it’s website:

The Only Floating Murphy Bed AvailableA stone decorative piece is in a living room with white and red furniture.

The Moddi murphy bed is attached to the wall with the a french cleat. A french cleat is a technique cabinet makers prefer when installing cabinets because it’s an easy way to mount something big and bulky. But the coolest thing about a french cleat mounted Moddi murphy bed is that when it is folded up and away, it’s not touching the floor, leaving more room for other things!

 

And apparently, if you’re skilled in the woodshop and have table and miter saws, you can build the thing for under $100.

The website is poorly written, and relies on alot of informercial lingo, but the project itself is pretty cool. 

Plans are $7.95.

  1. Well, heck. I’m glad I ran across this and read the comments, because I was excited to find a murphy bed that actually appealed to me. I tried to visit the Moddi site. It promptly tried to install bitcoin mining malware onto my computer, and the “buy now” link to the plans no longer works. I guess too many people had issues.

    But, perhaps I can figure out something on my own. I can’t find anything like those plans anywhere online, at least not yet, and I’m good at internet research, so the folks at Moddi must be good at keeping their intellectual property offline, regardless of how awful they apparently are at customer service and updating flawed plans. Thanks everyone who commented, appreciate it !
