We recently received the following email:
“Hi Dan,
I think I dealt with you when I bought my wall bed. It’s been about 5
years and I just want to tell you that my husband and I have enjoyed
it so very much! We bought the wallbed for a studio apartment in
Manhattan which I also use for business meetings. So you can imagine
how perfect it is that no one can see a bed! Before we purchased your
wallbed I searched all the stores in Manhattan for one, and NO store
had the quality that you offer. None of the stores even used wood to
make their wallbeds, they used press board. About three years ago
our daughter bought one of your wallbeds for her apartment, and once
again you delivered the finest quality furniture.
We’ve just sold the studio and the purchasers bought all the furniture
including the wall bed.But since they did, I guess the good news
is that we couldn’t use a wall bed in our new apartment anyway.
However,we are looking for an entertainment wall unit. I’ve searched
your site looking for one but can’t find any. Do you make
entertainment wall units and if not, are there any companies (who
deliver such quality furniture as you do) that you could recommend?
(We’d much rather have one that you make!)
Once again, thank you for your quality workmanship!
Bev T.”
We frequently work with customer on custom orders such as entertainment centers.

As an addition to any of our many selections of side cabinets, you can add our functional Slide out Night Tray to any of our Murphy Beds. This night tray functions like a portable night stand. You have the convenience of the night stand at the bed side when you want it, and it slides away when you need the space. This Night tray is positioned above the lower cabinet or above the middle drawer in cabinets that have drawers in the lower area, and rolls out at mattress height making it extremely convenient to use. When the night tray is closed it appears to be a beautiful trim on the face of the cabinet. If you pull on this trim it rolls straight out and becomes a handy little night tray. On the Gallery and Original Series cabinets the night tray is attached to “Accuride” full extension 100lb glides, so it’s as durable as you will ever need it to be. This night tray allows your guests to keep things close at hand through out the night, like reading glasses, a book, cell phone, medications or a glass of water. What a great way to show your guests that you are concerned for their comfort.

We received the following email last Friday:
Our bed just arrived. I must say that we are quite impressed with the quality of the bed. I was afraid the melamine would look kind of cheap, but it is very nice. It looks like we will get many good years of use from it. My husband was also impressed with the quality of the packaging. We are anxious to get it put together!
Thank you,
Mary L.

Wilding Wall Beds is concerned about “environmentally friendly” products. We are currently using Non-Toxic furniture grade ply wood and wood glue. In all of our construction, where it is available, we have gone to non-toxic products. This excerpt from the LA Times focuses on the issues surrounding selling formaldehyde based plywood in the United States.
U.S. Rules Allow the Sale of Products Others Ban
Chemical-laden goods outlawed in Europe and Japan are permitted in the American market.

“OAKLAND – Destined for American kitchens, planks of birch and poplar plywood are stacked to the ceiling of a cavernous port warehouse. The wood, which arrived in California via a cargo ship, carries two labels: One proclaims “Made in China,” while the other warns that it contains formaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical.
Because formaldehyde wafts off the glues in this plywood, it is illegal to sell in many countries – even the one where it originated, China. But in the United States this wood is legal, and it is routinely crafted into cabinets and furniture.”

ST. GEORGE — Although he has been involved in the furniture business his entire life, Bob Wilding did not start out as a furniture maker. He worked as manager of R.C. Willey’s Murray store and eventually worked in sales at The Boulevard in St. George.
He began making custom furniture in about 1993 when he was working at The Boulevard store and a California couple asked him to make several pieces of custom furniture for them.
“They asked for a Murphy bed,” Wilding recalled during a recent interview. A Murphy bed is one that retracts into a wall. William Murphy invented the folding wall bed sometime the early part of the 20th century.
“We have such a rare product; it’s hard for furniture stores to handle,” Wilding said. He credited the Internet with the growth of the company, which he started in his garage in the Diamond Valley area. Shortly after building that wall bed and having others inquire about the product, Wilding had a Web site.
The first order came from Louisiana. Filling it created a need for some sort of shipping container. So Wilding worked with the folks at Longview Fibre, who have a facility in Cedar City, to create the right kind of box.
“We had three orders the first week,” Wilding recalled.
“If it wasn’t for my wife, none of this would have happened,” Wilding said. He said Moira pushed him to create the company.
Initially the company consisted of a handful of people, including sons Dennis and Dan, as well as Steve Parkinson, now the operations manager.
Today the company is housed in a new facility in the Fort Pearce Industrial Park. It has doubled in size since moving out of Diamond Valley, with approximately 30 people on its workforce. Dennis Wilding said the new facility was built in the industrial park because the proposed Southern Corridor will provide easy access to Interstate 15 and its major markets.
Ninety-five percent of the wallbeds built are shipped across the world, Dennis Wilding said, noting that Las Vegas has been a fertile market. He added that the company ships 120 units per month.
“Dennis and Steve had the vision of building in an industrial area and adding new machinery,” Bob Wilding said. “They had the ambition and foresight. When I got tired, they grabbed the ball and ran.”
Included with the wallbeds are custom wood cabinets that add to any room.
Dennis Wilding said the Murphy bed is just a great idea that has developed because of the home office. “It gives (the customer) their room back.”
Bob Wilding said the cabinets do not involve the use of pressed fiberboard or plastic. He added that if a customer wants a certain item, “we can do it.”
Dennis Wilding said the company emphasizes customer service and satisfaction.
“We’re not afraid to take care of a customer, no matter what the cost,” he said.
He said the company’s satisfaction guarantee includes the coverage of shipping costs and a full refund. “Fortunately we’ve had only one in all the years,” he said of returns. “The difference between us and other manufacturers is the quality.”

I ordered a queen murphy bed unit with bookcases from you last fall. We have finally finished our home renovations and installed the bed. I just want you to know how very pleased we are with the bed, the craftsmanship and the ease of installation. I was pretty apprehensive purchasing such an expensive item over the Internet, sight unseen. You were an absolute pleasure to deal with and the final product has more than met my expectations! My daughter loves demonstrating it for all her friends and I gladly refer you to anyone who asks. Thanks for not disappointing! You have a wonderful product and your execution is flawless.
