Rockler Woodworking and Hardware introduced a Hiddenbed® Hardware Fastener Kit (item 46521) which contains all the connectors, screws and bolts necessary for installing a lift mechanism onto a bedframe to create a fold-out bed and workstation combination. You will find a plan for a Desk/Bed combination using this hardware in the February 2014 issue of Woodworker’s Journal. The lift mechanism that allows for smooth operation and conversion between one piece to another, with up to 50 pounds of items on the desktop, is included in the Fold-Out Bed and Desk Mechanism kit, which also includes a USB drive with CAD and PDF drawings of several bed styles. The Twin Hiddenbed Kit (item 44833) sells for $329.99 and the Double Hiddenbed Kit (item 46658) for $349.99. The Hiddenbed Hardware Fastener Kit, sold separately, is priced at $79.99.
