Great product and I love the end result. We wanted to hide our bedroom door off the living room and this fit the bill to a tee. The final result was beyond my expectations thanks to the craftsman who installed it and the great folks at a Murphy Door for making such a fantastic product.
Purchased a 26" unfinished door with some options. Overall Murphy Door did a great job on design and manufacturing tolerances on this KIT. That said a couple of suggestions for future buyers. 1) consider buying it primed not raw - the first coat of oil base took a LOT of time and 2nd coat required anyway. 2) Consider buying it assembled, I did OK but again, a lot of time. 3) Instructions esp regarding trim pieces on OUTSWING doors should be reviewed by Murphy. The 1/2" overlap on face recommended was IMO and my installer insufficient and with more overlap the Shaker Door on the hinge side would not open. We remedied by a 45 deg shave of the hinge side. 3) The Hidden Book latch was too tight against the face trim remedied using a paint stir stick stirrer.
Overall hat's off to Murphy and great product and very happy.

Whole thing is cheaply made. For $3k I expected better. Currently starting the return process
Fantastic product from a great group
of craftspeople. Really loved the creatice options a hidden door can bring.
The door and hardware is all of good quality material. Ready to assemble. The instructions were a little unclear and basic, I did have to do some backtracking. The link to the online instructions was broken so I ended up doing a YouTube search and trusting "what seemed intuitive ". Delivery was frustrating. Tracking ,after I was notified my order was on its way, just said in transit.I checked every morning and that's all I got until I get a call from the driver saying he was 15 minutes out. Luckily we are self employed and could break away, and the driver was accommodating, but for the delivery being 30% of the total cost I definitely expected more. All in, We would probably just buy the hardware next time and build the door ourselves.
Absolutely love
Thank you so much this seller I give 20 star feed back + 5 from me⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯%
This was our first murphy project. It was a key element of our owner bath remodel. Overall, I'm glad we have it. However, there were several hiccups along the way with communication from this company, the hinge parts initially provided were wrong, and the final execution of the product leaves some quality to be desired.
Nick with customer service took accountability along the way, which helped me not be completely angry. If you're considering this company, just beware they have one shipment person and apparently phenomenal marketing skills, so their service can be quite delayed (requested correct part to be shipped ASAP on Dec. 18, it left the factory on Jan.2).
Without detailing every piece of my story, the company communicated incorrectly about timeline, took accountability and hustled to get the door to us, but it was delivered with the wrong parts.
There was scuffing on my boards from not being individually wrapped. I had to complain about that to be given a paint kit (awaiting arrival).
Installation directions are quite challenging; our GC messed up install until my husband and I examined and highlighted each key part (notably: adjusting for the door bow with internal hardware).
It's not super easy to open. The design of my bathroom is for this to be a hidden linen storage but now I am nervous about how tightly I need to pull because the magnetic catches are so strong. This may be better for the seldomly opened storage, and we may end up installing a small, discrete handle of some sort.
Overall, it looks nice enough but was a giant headache and I would recommend a different product/company to a friend in my same shoes.
Delivered wish it came with assembly instructions
Researched options and found this the best for a secret door. Installation is tricky but manageable with instructions.
Works great and online instruction is great
"Fit perfectly in the rough opening. Matches the decor beautifully."
"Installation instructions could be improved for less experienced users."
"Door exceeded expectations, sturdy and attractive. Installed as a hidden door for a game room."
"Wish there were more size options for smaller openings. Still very satisfied with the look and feel."
The Murphy floating shelf looks excellent and works as described. The shelf has a strong build and is sturdy. Easy to assemble. I put mine in the kitchen above an open counter.
It took 4 hours to put together and hang. The door works great and looks great.
"Good quality door, but assembly instructions were difficult to follow."
