We want to provide more than just furniture to our customers. Our goal is to inspire your home & maximize your space, and we want to know how we are doing!

"Love our wall bed. Makes a perfect guest room. Old Creek was great to deal with -- very helpful and accommodating." -Posted on our Facebook page by Marian

"The best thing we ever did was install our Wall Bed and turn one of the spare bedrooms into an Office/Guest Room. We LOVE it! Gives us so much more space now!" -Posted on our Facebook page by Anne



"I received my bed yesterday. It arrived as promised. I was impressed with the packaging when it came out of the truck. After uncrating it it only took about 1.5 hours to assemble. All of the parts were there and everything was in great shape. I point this out because I purchased the NOIR floor model. I have been impressed with your company and am happy to tell all of my friends where I purchased the bed. It looks great" - Email from Mike

"This bed solved our guest room problem - we wanted a comfortable bed that didn't take up too much space when not in use. It is easy to put up and down and is very comfortable to sleep on - we know because we slept on it for a week while our master bedroom floor was redone. It was easy to install and looks great. The only problem we've had with it is the sharp corners when the bed is down - you need to watch your shins a bit when walking around it. We have corner protectors on it."- Email from Anonymous Customer 



"..I just wanted to add that I was really pleased with the customer service (I wish I could remember the name of the woman I dealt with - she was terrific) - our beds were shipped to Miami for onward transport to the Cayman Islands and all of our requests for documentation were handled perfectly so the customs brokerage and shipping went very smoothly. Many companies immediately bristle when they find out that we need onward shipping and have overseas credit cards, but Old Creek said "no problem" and made the extra effort to do the necessary confirmations etc. to make sure that it wasn't. We love our bed, and the other bed was for friends here in Cayman - they love theirs too."- Email from Anonymous Customer 

We encourage potential Murphy bed buyers to be sure to read our reviews and make a decision on whether this is the right bed for your home.

Murphy Beds, the bedding idea of 1900 was invented by American William Lawrence Murphy (1876–1959) from San Francisco. The original space-saving Murphy Bed would fold into a wall closet. Murphy patented his “In-A-Dor” bed in 1908 and in 1918, he introduced the pivot bed that pivoted on a doorjamb of a dressing closet, and then lowered into a sleeping position - some of which are still in use today.Since the original wall bed in 1900, Murphy Beds have undergone quite a bit of renovation. Today, you can purchase a Murphy Bed equipped with technically advanced air pistons, which are far superior to the old spring mechanism (Learn more about air pistons in our Buyers Guide). Murphy Beds today also function as an integral part of your home’s furnishings, being offered in beautiful woods, finishes and styles. No longer do you need to hide them away in your closets, losing additional storage space.
