Customer Reviews for 5FT Pneumatic Sofa Bed Lift Up Mechanism Kits for Under Bed Storage Black

The product arrived very quickly, very good quality. At least as good as I hoped for. And the price was excellent. I've actually used these with some modification for the hood on my 1963 Chevy, without working excellently. I was impressed with Vevor, will shop again.

The only thing I didn't like was how hard these shocks are to compress. I couldn't do it by hand. Only when the frame was installed could I move them! Until then, I was afraid they were locked up!I though about removing one, but it would tweak the frame. It takes a lot of strength to pull the bed down. I would suggest ordering softer shocks unless you're a weight-lifter needing extra reps!

Once some adjustments were made to our bed base, it works perfectly although still slightly heavy for me but our mattress is very heavy. Much much better than before and I don't need help lifting. Make sure your bed base has the right foundations as we needed to add wood supports to the base to attach it to

Heavy duty - sturdy mechanism with great product and customer support from supplier.Although there are no instructions (which is the only thing that is a slight negative), from customer questions, customer pictures its pretty easy to fix - i can understand why they are perhaps not enclosed - because each customers bed will differ (so you have to think a little bit outside the box as to how to best suit your application - where to attach - etc.)I am just a small lady - and with a few handy power tools - i was able to transform my individual strung wooden slatted base into a fairly solid base structure by making a solid frame around the outer perimeter and some mid attachments. I did also baton out the sides of the bed to give an extra area of bite for the screws. (although from the pictures i still have one socket left to batten and screw)I fitted the metal mechanism without the pneumatic bars attached to the sides of the bed - then once attached - i arranged the side bars in a suitable position (with some resistance) to a position which would allow me to fit the pneumatic bars. Forgive me - when trying to get my head around fitting these to my slatted base - i used heavy duty duck tape and the whole of my body weight to take each strut back to its horizontal position - then secured with the duck tape (i didn't have an assistant to help me at the time!) . Then i could put my wooden frame on top and mark out the attachment holes for the long bar to base slat attachments. Perhaps this wasn't the best way - but it worked a OK for me with a bit of trial and error. You really need a heavy mattress on top to get the struts to work - they will not work with just muscle arm power.My Mattress is very heavy and with a few bits of duck tape as a temporary makeshift handle at the foot of the bed - it lifts with ease and has a very smooth operation - totally brilliant.Great customer service from the supplier - and great product too.

I bought this to replace my old ones as they bent and this works perfectly.

I purchased this item to create a twin storage bed for one of my boys. It was very easy to install, even though it lacked instructions. They are self explanatory, really. Just know that the lifts will work with weight put on them. I use it as a secured area(with a lock) for items that I might have to take away as discipline! My wife used to take their electronics out of their room, but then we would have to deal with it temporarily elsewhere! The lifts work great and actually seem like they could use more weight than I created with the bed frame and matress. The base was simply made with 3/4 inch plywood and some 1_4 for bracing. I will be making two more twin sizes and a full size soon!! The bed has no problem staying up when lifted. Very happy with purchase so far!!
