Dyna-Living 4.6FT Bed Lift Mechanism 286.6lbs-319.7lbs Load Capacity Pneumatic Gas Spring for Storage Bed Box or Sofa Bed

Great idea for small space storage! We already had a queen size storage bed with 4 drawers built in, but the center and back of the bed frame was inaccessible wasted space. In our tiny apartment, I need to take advantage of whatever storage space I can find. Installation is definitely not a beginner project. In most cases you'd likely need to build out a new internal frame to hold the springs, since they need to be fully bolted down, not just screwed into the sides of your existing bed frame. It needs a very solid support structure to withstand the pressure of the springs. The instructions were pretty vague, and it doesn't include hardware for attaching the bed slats to the hinges, so you'll have to figure that part out on your own. At the first test fit, I was worried that the springs wouldn't be able to close. They weren't budging at all under the weight of the mattress and slats. However, once I got everything solidly bolted together and aligned, it just needed a firm push to close up. The hinges do have a bit of side to side wiggle (probably more noticable for me since I had to install them closer to the center of the frame rather than at the outer edges), so you have to be a little bit careful about guiding it straight down. But overall I'm very satisfied with the project, and happy to gain a few more square feet of storage!

works well

Easy to install & lifts my king bed so easily! The brackets are fantastic as they move in away from the wall to accommodate the mattress thickness. The gas struts easily lift the bed. If i had one issue, it doesn’t lift quite as high as i would have liked it to. Might you have any ideas to help me to raise it even higher? Thanks for a great product!

Easy to use, the mechanism installs easily. The bottom arms should be stable and unmoving. Recommended for utility.

This is a very well built easy to install unit. I actually only need on of the cylinders to raise my queen sized bed using two made it so strong that I could not shut it. So I have a spare lift cylinder for later

Completely poor quality. One arm bent while closing forcing the whole bed to swing to the side collapsing the bed while I was closing it, crushing my hand. now i cant open the bed to remove the struts.. Do not buy this!!!!!!!! this isnt my first bed and i make furniture for a living. first time this has happened.

Muy bello y práctico pero se necesita media purgada meno al size de la cama para que pueda ajustar bien. Tuve que ingeniarme un método para poder ajustarlo porque al ser el mismo size de la cama no encaja. Recomiendo al que hace esta pieza media pulgada meno al tamaño real de la cama.

Mechanism itself is pretty strong as long as it is installed right, other wise you'll need to be very creative to fit your needs, this is not for an average diy person, some folks complain about not having clear instructions but they clearly show how the system works but it is up to you how to install it. every scenario is different, in my case I had to create how to support the brackets to my bed frame and how the mattress will be supported once is closed, good luck
