Who this suits
Worth a look if
- The guest bed gets used a few times a year and the cabinet has to look like furniture the rest of the time.
- You want it to turn up as furniture rather than as a woodworking project.
- You rent, or you would rather not put structural bolts into the wall. This one stands on its own.
- You want the lift to feel light and even, and you would rather not re-tension anything.
Look elsewhere if
- You picture a full height wall unit. A freestanding cabinet bed is a chest, and the mattress inside it folds.
- You need a king. This model is not offered in one.
- You want a choice of sizes. This model is offered in queen only.
What Expand Furniture publishes, and what it does not
We track 14 figures on a finished bed before calling a record complete. Expand Furniture publishes 9 of them for the Denva Deluxe Cabinet Bed. The 5 it leaves out are worth knowing before you buy, because each one is a decision you will end up making without the maker's help.
- Not published: maximum mattress thickness. Which means the thickness limit is absent, which is the specification that most often sends a mattress back after delivery.
- Not published: the mattress weight window. Which means no weight rating is given, which matters because the counterbalance is tuned to a range rather than to any mattress.
- Not published: assembly time. Which means the maker offers no estimate of how long this takes to put together, which is worth asking if you are paying somebody by the hour.
- Not published: panel materials. Which means the panel construction is unstated, which is what decides whether the cabinet still looks square in ten years.
Also absent from the manufacturer's documentation for this model: country of manufacture.
We leave these blank rather than estimating them. A — in our tables is always a gap in the manufacturer's own documentation, never a number we chose not to look up.
What people get wrong with this one
Forgetting the bed has to tilt through the ceiling
A vertical bed swings up through an arc, so it needs slightly more headroom than the closed cabinet height suggests. Sloped ceilings and low light fittings are the usual casualties.
Expecting it to sleep like a standard bed
A freestanding cabinet bed uses a folding mattress and sits lower than a wall bed. It is excellent for occasional guests and a compromise for nightly use.
Treating a sale price as the price
