The Cozy Costco Bedroom Furniture Find That's Great For Small Spaces

Is there anything more challenging than furnishing a tiny bedroom? The bed itself usually takes up the whole room. But you need storage, too, right? So it makes sense to squeeze in some bedside tables, along with a dresser and desk. While these are all essential components of a comfortable and functional bedroom, they can quickly make a tight layout look like a chaotic game of Tetris. Thankfully, Costco came through with a space-saving staple to make the most of a small bedroom. Behold: the Bestar Boutique Queen-Size Murphy Bed Set, retailing for $2,099.99 on Costco's website. Think of it as a part-time sleep space and a full-time storage solution. You'll also have plenty of room to move around during the day, which is always a plus.

Now, before you run away because of the price, hear us out. This wall bed set has all the storage any small-space dweller would appreciate. There are two drawers for items you want to keep out of sight, like bed sheets, off-season clothing, and hobby supplies. Up top, a pull-out shelf doubles as a nightstand (or makeshift desk), while three other shelves provide an open display area for your favorite trinkets. Or, you could add bins and baskets for even more organizational power. The choice is yours.

Another big selling point? It flaunts a stylish, shaker-style design that looks nothing like your standard Murphy bed. White, gray, or dark brown, this piece complements any interior style. Of course, money doesn't grow on trees, so we went into research mode to find out if Costco's Murphy bed is really worth splurging on.

Is the Costco Murphy bed as good as it's cracked up to be?

There's one thing most (if not all) reviewers agree on: this piece of furniture is hard to assemble. It can take over eight hours, not to mention you have to drill into the floor and locate wall studs when installing the unit. Fear not, however, as one 5-star shopper assures, "The bed is good quality and looks fantastic, once it was finally assembled." Be prepared though — some reviewers mentioned not receiving enough parts, which can be a whole ordeal when you need the bed pronto.

The whole set measures 87.9 inches tall by 94.6 inches wide by 20.3 inches deep. Once it's time to retire for the night, it extends 92 inches from the wall. You can also take a page out of TikToker @theverestplace_'s book and double the storage for an extra $400 if you have the wall space and budget. Priced at $2,499.99 from Costco, the Murphy bed she used has a shelving unit on both sides. Whichever piece you go for, you'll be able to transform a single space into multiple functional rooms with one simple pull. Think: a bedroom slash living room if you live in a studio apartment. Or perhaps a home office with space for a guest bed when needed.

Design aficionado or not, don't forget there are plenty of savvy ways to customize your Murphy bed. Install overhead lighting for added convenience. Hang a few picture frames on the wall above the bed to bring visual interest. And finish off the setup with a warm rug underfoot.
