Why Wall Beds for Home Office?
Hong Kong apartments average 400-600 sq ft. Dedicated home offices are rare. A wall bed converts any room into productive workspace by day and comfortable bedroom by night — without moving furniture daily.
How It Works
Morning (Wake → Work): Pull bed up with one hand. SBLM gas struts assist smooth motion. Desk surface stays level with integrated keyboard pocket. 10 seconds, done.
Daytime (Work Mode): Full-depth desk (75-90cm) supports monitors up to 32 inches. Cable channels through cabinet back. Shelves above for books/supplies. Drawers below for stationery/files.
Evening (Work → Sleep): Clear desk surface. Pull bed down in under 10 seconds. Monitor stays mounted on wall. Keyboard tucks into designated pocket. Sleep on premium mattress (included).
