Harper Blvd Murphy Winter Antique White Fold-out Convertible Desk

This isn't exactly the easiest thing to hang -- anchoring is always a little tricky -- but my husband and I have managed to install it in two different homes this year without problem. The only thing I'd recommend is making a point to measure it so that the desk portion will be level when open. (In the first installation, we had it up a tad too high and I had to makeshift a solution to compensate. We were more careful the second time around.) It's just the coolest thing, really. I have a work room that's also a guest room, and this allows me to have a desk in there when I need one that basically disappears into a simple piece of wall art when I don't. I love it. I wish I could have Murphy everything. Footprints are for suckers. This thing ... It's one of my favorite buys.

GREAT IDEA...loved the desk....horrible fume...this thing out gasses so bad! we sat it outside in the 80 degree sunshine for 2 weeks trying to get the smell to go away....we even painted the inside of the file areas with Kilz...because that area is unfinished and smells the worst...however we hung it inside again and reeks! i have never written a review but i wish this on was here before i purchased this desk....we r now looking for a new desk.

we never ended up using this desk because the color was not as pictured. It is more an almond color, light beige instead of white or creamy white. The dimensions were also a little off by about an inch on the width. The quality looked good though.

I recently moved into a 400 sq foot house with my boyfriend. I work from home and this desk is an amazing space saver. I'm a designer and can fit my MacBook Pro AND my Wacom tablet side-by-side no problem. It's holding up very well and I love it. I would like to add that I didn't have an issue with paint smell as I noticed other people mentioned.

We ordered the Murphy Desk for my 16 year old daughter. It actually came the very next day. It was easy to install and of great quality. She loves it and it looks great. Very sturdy and perfect for space saving in a teenagers bedroom. Great product, price and service. I would recommend Overstock.com to anyone looking for a great deal on furniture!

My 5-yo loves this desk!! He was intrigued when he saw it folded up on the wall in the kitchen. He ran around shouting “I LOVE it!!” when we opened it. He immediately sat down, pulled out his pre-school activity book and started working in it. He loves having his own desk to do his “homework” at He starts kindergarten this fall and I think this will be the perfect thing to keep us all organized and the perfect place for him to do his work, while we work in the kitchen, AND not have to live with his books and papers strung all over the kitchen table. I’m a 35yo female and was able to hang it on the wall by myself... but it would have been MUCH easier to have someone hold it up while the other person is attaching it to the wall. I also painted it white and blue to match our kitchen. The desk itself is pretty sturdy but has a 20lb weight limit. I WOULD NOT recommend small children crawling or sitting on it.

Original desk received was defective; but Overstock customer service is great, they sent a replacement promptly. The picture shows the support for the desktop once pulled out looks like a cut-out picture frame, but it is a solid board which I think actually is an improvement -- it makes it sturdier. I purchased this described as Murphy “Winter White” desk to match my white Murphy bed, but the color is actually “greenish-yellow”; nowhere close to white/off-white/ivory/cream. I will have to have the exterior painted white to match the murphy bed after airing it out to get rid the strong odor. I cannot imagine anyone can sleep in the room with that smell. I am lucky that the guestroom is completely isolated from the rest of the house.

This is a cool product. My daughter loves it. I had a professional install it. He made sure it was extra sturdy so if kids hung on it, it would not fall down. It is very very heavy. I would never have my husband hang it. It could be a safety issue if you do not get a professional to hang it. The product is awesome! Lots of compliments. space saver!

The unit looks nice once mounted on the wall. The installation instructions are pretty bad. Even though it's made in China you'd at least hope the marketing company that rebrands it in the US would spend the time to make the instructions easier. The instructions said to install the unit at around eye height, which makes no sense because the fold out table has to come out of the unit at a precise height or it will be uneven. In any case, after doing the math it turns out the cardboard box it came in was almost exactly the right height (on its side) to boost up the unit and then mount it on. The latch is pretty cheap and wobbly and I anticipate having to replace. I do like how it looks and use it as a compact breakfast table, which seems to work well so far.

The hardware that comes with this item is insufficient to mount it to the wall. You almost never get a stud in the exact place you want to hang it so go buy some toggle bolts, get a drill, and all will be well. The tiny little level it comes with is hilarious! The leg is solid, not like it appears in the picture. Took 2 people to install and get it right, one to hold and one to screw the bolts in. What a great space saver it is! I have it in my den which is the size of an average bedroom. I don't need a desk in there full time so I just fold it out when I have a bunch of typing to do on my laptop and it's great.

First off his desk was difficult to install and the wall anchors that came with it were unusable. After we finally installed the desk the overall quality was very poor. The shelves that were included didn't fit, the filing folder slots were loose and the item was delivered with dents and scratches. Overall, it's not worth the money and I had much higher hopes for it. Especially since I can't return the item, it was a waste of money.

Clean, functional, and really great for homework! This was a perfect addition to a tiny bedroom, without losing any floor space! A must have - But be sure to hang it with care.

My only complaint about this desk...which I do love!! Is that the paper pockets on the right go all the way down to the bottom of the first one. So if you try to use the top or middle one and your paper is normal length...you will lose it and not be able to get it back out. The only way for me to use them is to fold my item in half and just lay it over the edge. Useless really. But the rest of the desk is amazing!!

I've had this desk for several weeks now and I love it. Perfect for a small space, looks great, easy to install, and sturdy. Handy that it comes pre-assembled (though that means a pretty big box!) and I agree with others who said that it will be an easier install with two people. I put it in an unused corner of my kitchen to make a little home office and added a curtain as a sort of faux-divider between it and the rest of the space. Looks cute, works well. Great purchase.

Installed it yesterday and love the way it looks!

Exelente little space hart and comfortable is good at Room

Wonderful space saving desk solution! We bought two so that my daughters could each have their own work area. Easy enough for my 5 year old to put down or up.

This was very easy to install and it looks great. Its functional and saves a lot of space. We used it in a room with limited space and it is amazing how it blinds in with furniture and the wall art. Its sturdy, and works great so far.

Item arrived quickly and in good shape. High quality item, looks great in my guest bedroom and saves a ton of space. Would highly recommend this item.

We love this desk! Very solid. Not flimsy at ball.

Great product but it does ding easily and shows wear. Great for adding an extra desk for temp employees or volunteers when space is lacking.

This desk is used within a very large walk in closet. The profile on the wall is amazingly slim enabling plenty of room for me to maneuver within the closet.

The concept on this desk is awesome, but you have to consider what it’ll take to install and then if you do decide to assemble and mount it, you have to be prepared for some serious holes to deal with if it’s ever taken down.
