Does a Murphy wall bed have to be anchored to the wall, or can it stand on its own?

A Murphy wall bed must be anchored to a structural wall for safe and stable daily use, as the hydraulic or spring mechanism generates significant force during folding and unfolding that a freestanding base alone cannot reliably counterbalance over time. Cubit Furniture’s Murphy Beds are professionally installed with precise wall anchoring into solid masonry or studs, ensuring the full cabinet, hydraulic mechanism, and mattress load remain secure and stable through years of everyday use.
