How much does it cost?
What we do is 100% custom based on your needs and no two projects are the same. If you see something on our website that is similar to what you are looking for, we can easily tell you the price of that installation, to give you some idea of cost. If you are building, we can give you a proposal and estimate based on plans. Wallbeds start around $1800 including mattress and installation. back to questions |
What is it made of?
We manufacture our systems using either ¾” furniture grade melamine or stained hardwood. back to questions |
Are your systems wall hung or floor mounted?
Both. We design and install both types of systems, and they both work perfectly well. When you meet with your SpaceManager, you can discuss the benefits of each method, and decide what is best for you and your space.

How do I move a fixed shelf?
- On the shelf, you will see a plastic “cam” that has two holes in it – one square (next to the vertical panel) and one round. Using a Phillips head screwdriver and insert it into the round hole at a slight angle.
- Unlock cam lock by making a quarter turn counterclockwise. You will see a metal tooth in the square hole recessing itself back into the cam housing.
- Repeat this on the three other cams.
- Lift shelf to release it.
- Once shelf is removed, move the 4 screws in the side panels to the desired height.
- The shelf can then be re-installed and the locking cam mechanisms in all four corners re-tightened.

How do I clean the system?
Most of the systems we install are melamine. Melamine, while very attractive, is also very durable. Under normal circumstances, a damp cloth with a little glass cleaner (or similar household cleaner) will do fine. If you should get a tough spot on the system (grease, coffee, glue, etc.) then a small amount of nail polish remover or mineral spirits should do the trick. You should follow all safety precautions as listed on the container when using strong chemicals such as mineral spirits, nail polish remover, etc.

How do I move a hang rod?
- On each end of the rod, you will notice rod cups.
- Remove the bar from the cups by pushing firmly up on the bar.
- Once the bar is removed, pull out the two rod cups and re-insert them at desired height. Be sure that both cups are the same level and re-insert the bar by pressing down firmly. You may need to use pliers to remove the cups.
