I'm considering 113036 or 125830 titled "Retractable Beds." Other ideas? Jeff Wilson Wilson Consulting Inc Narberth PA Helaine K.

Oh, I'm sorry, that's "Murphy's" bed. Ron Geren, FCSI Lifetime Member, AIA, CCS, CCCA, CSC, SCIP George A.

If so, and if it's part of a system of casework in a space, maybe it should be specified as a component or accessory in a casework section. That way the casework fabricator can make sure that the system will properly fit and be coordinated with the casework it's going into.
