I have found the plans and...
I have found the plans and instructions to be very detailed, I found all instructions to be complete and understandable. there's also a bill of materials/cut sheet for 24" and 18" side cabinets.

Great set of plans
Murphy bed is finished and could not have done this project without the plans. Project took longer than I anticipated because I finished all the wood with stain and poly before assembly. I only have a small amount of work space, did one pannel at a time and spent a lot of time waiting for the finishes to dry. Assembly went quickly and got help from my son when I attached the bed to the wall.
