Abstract
A combination desk and fold-out bed comprises a desk top supported on side panels; a pair of movable pedestals that fit in a front area of a desk opening under the desk top and adjacent inner sides of the side panels, the pedestals being removable from the desk opening to serve as night stands; and a fold-up bed mounted in a back area of the desk opening, behind the position of the pedestals when they are positioned in the front area of the desk opening, the bed being movable forwardly through the open front of the desk and unfoldable forwardly to an open position when the pedestals are removed. A pair of movable door panels extend between the pedestals and conceal the folded bed at the rear portion of the desk opening, when the pedestals are in place under the desk top, in the desk opening. The door panels are hinged to the pedestals and pivot forwardly to lay against the sides of the pedestals and provide access to the bed.
