The big dresser that I bought at an estate sale years ago was real thick but didn't seem to have much depth in the drawers. That's when I turned it around and found out it was a Murphy bed on the other side!

It used an 80 lb counterweight and the thing was well-balanced so not difficult to move up or down.

It's kind of bunched up against a wall in a spare room now that's full of books and stuff, so I can't readily take photos, but I think you get the idea.
