Wall Bed
Since I'm living in a tiny flat in HK, I wanna setup myself a Murphy bed for a long time.
Until I saw the "Ikea Hack - Murphy Bed with Sliding Doors" by newfangled
Ikea-Hack-Murphy-Bed-with-Sliding-Doors
I believe I can do it too! I just bought a next bed and a second hand ikea pax wardrobe with 2 sliding door.
Need another 2 doors to make a similar cabinet. I hope I can finish it within 2 weeks.

Next Bed
Bought a next bed through Internet from UK. Luckily their factory is in China, so the delivery fee is quite low. (HKD$ 5,117~ USD$ 658)
2nd Hand Ikea Pax Wardrobe (200x66x236cm)
Can't wait ikea sale, bought this 2nd hand closet through Internet (HKD$ 2,500 ~ USD$ 320)
Other Parts From Ikea
Ordered 2 Sliding Door (200X236cm) - HKD$ 3,290 ~ USD$ 423
newfangled's Instructables used the third cabinet as parts, it would be really expensive if I do it in a same way.
So I choose BESTÅ VARA Door(60 x 192cm) as the upper track of the top section. - HKD$ 350 ~ USD$ 45
Then Use ikea Ribba ledge(115cm x 2) as the lower track of the bottom section - HKD$ 180~ USD$ 23

Track Work
Join two ledges by old parts and to strengthen By adding frame.

Drilling holes for the track. Wrap the stick(192x2.5x5cm x 3 - $HKD66 ~$US8.5)
with white wall paper then nail it to the top part

Doors
Combines all cabinet stuff together today!
Discovered that spacing 192cm is too aggressive, the top track is bent when the door is closed....Some stablize work need to do next week.
Hope the bed will be ready next week too, my backbone started complaining the cold, hard ground...

Bed Day
Setting up the bed is easy but the drilling work. I chose the very good quality tile of the house XD.
Because of the time consuming drilling work, I need to fix the bending track next week.
I saw a pic from Internet that next bed have support leg. I don't know if my bed is new or old version, it hasn't. Anyway, I make it myself with the old parts from my last last bed~

Stabilization
Planed to drill 3 holes to the ceiling to fix the bending track, end up 1 is enough~
1 is not enough finally, the track bent again after a week. Make it 3 this weekend~
