Can I get a desk or table with my wall bed?
A question that seems to be on everyone’s mind is, “Can I get a desk or table with my wallbed.” Thankfully the folks at Wilding Wallbeds have heard your cries, and have come up with several innovative solutions that will meet your specific needs and allow your multipurpose room to function however you need it to. Desks and tables serve so many different purposes that it would be impossible to meet all needs with one solution. With that being said, Wilding Wallbeds has developed four different table and desk options to capture virtually everyone’s needs.
The Drop Down Table
The first solution that Wilding Wallbeds created was the drop down table. The drop down table is a folding table that attaches to the face of the standard murphy beds and wall beds. This ingenious design allows the table to store flat on the face of the bed, when the bed is in use, and project out into a nice workspace when the bed is up. This table ranges in dimensions based on the style of bed, but the basic dimensions for a HomeFront or Gallery series bed is 30” wide and 47” long and sits 30” off the ground. The basic dimensions for the Studio series is 30” wide by 36” long. The main reason for the size difference is that the piston lift beds lock in the up-position so adding more weight to the face of the bed has no adverse effect.
The drop down table is available on any of the Studio, Homefront, or Gallery series beds excluding the Tuscany, Harmony, and Dakota Melamine styles. Some of the common uses for the drop down able include a game table, a craft table, a small workspace, a sewing table, and a dining table for small apartments.
The Disappearing Desk Bed
The most popular table option that Wilding Wallbeds produces is the Disappearing Desk Bed. This is a side mounted wallbed that has a full size desk attached to the face of the bed. The incredible thing about this option is that you are able to leave everything on the desk when the bed is in use because as the bed lowers, the desk simply swings underneath the bed to function as a leg. When the bed is down you still have 17.5” from the top of the desk to the face of the bed, which means that a standard monitor is able to stay on the desk as well as your printer, papers and anything else that clutters your desk. The option is great for a full time office, even if you are in the middle of a project when you need to pull the bed down, all you do is open the bed, go to sleep, wake up, and everything is exactly how you left it.
In addition to the versatility of this system, they are absolutely beautiful. Wilding Wallbeds offers 9 different styles that range from simple and modern, to elaborate and elegant. With a range that wide you are sure to find something that you will be in love with. Of course like any of their products you have a choice of 6 different woods and over 30 finishes, to make your product match your personality and taste.
The Studio Desk
The next option to discuss is the Studio Desk. The concept is similar to the Disappearing Desk Bed, but instead of it being a side mount unit, it is a vertical unit. The other difference is that there is 9” of clearance on the desktop rather than the 17.5” on the Disappearing Desk Bed. This makes it a great work space for a laptop, or tablet. The Studio Desk attaches to the face of any of the Studio series beds excluding the Dakota Melamine. The size and shape of the Studio Desk also makes it a great workspace for sewing, drafting, or crafting.
The Home Office
The last option is the broadest as well, it is the home office. This is a custom designed desk that is either standalone or attached to the side of the bed. Wilding Wallbeds has developed an angled design that allows you have a large permanent workspace, which also allows your guests to have room on the side of the bed to get in and out. The size and shape of this configuration is based on what you want and the layout of your room. You simply provide the dimensions and a brief description of what you want, and a Wilding Wallbeds Sales Team member will put together a drawing showing how it will look in your room. This allows you to fine tune the unit to ensure that it is exactly what you want.
The home office consist of three parts, the desktop, pedestals, and upper cabinets. With the desktop you have your choice of a pencil drawer, or a keyboard tray. The pedestals are the cabinet options that the desktop sits on. Wilding Wallbeds offers a wide range of configurations and sizes to meet your needs. The final part to consider are the upper cabinets. These are attached to the wall above your desk and can be open bookcases, or closed storage cabinets.
The benefit to working with Wilding Wallbeds is that they build everything specific for you, so they are able to truly accommodate you and your specific needs. Many styles and stains are available to match the existing furniture and to allow you to create something that you love.
