Looks to me like you set it up so you can fold down the center table and set a board across for the bed... Correct?
i was wondering the same thing and am curious as to how it works pics in bed mode???
edit: kinda curious about the blinds too
Looks like there are "cleats" on the upper edge of each seat base for the table top to sit on. My fat @$$ would probably crack that table without a center support in bed mode. LOL.

Seriously I have no carpentry skills, I usually am useless at this sort of stuff, must admit though I am well chuffed with how it turned out, I will put some pics on later in the week with the bed set up.
Thanks for all the positive comments _________________ HAPPY DAYS

Nice work...yes, you DO have carpentry skills, now, as already stated. I like that it has a period look to the cabinetry, unlike many of the 'modern' custom interiors.
