Murphy Bed Desks - Dropdown and Auto-desks

Dual Function Murphy Bed Desks - 2 for 1 combo

A Murphy Bed desk bed is a type of Murphy Bed that has the desk built into the face panel of the bed. This smart, space-saving option allows you to add a bedroom and create a workstation at the same time - a desk by day and a bed at night.
