Some assembly required

Before
After (We hope)
Built in eastern Canada, the spiffy wall bed and storage towers were loaded on a truck near Quebec a couple weeks ago and shipped 3,000 miles across the country. The pallet of boxes has now been delivered to the garage at our winter apartment in southern California. There it sits, awaiting our November arrival. We tracked the purchase across the border, then from state to state until if finally arrived at a trucking center in San Bernardino. 
Costco had a killer August sale that we couldn't ignore, so we had to buy it now.

The fold-up wall bed (Sometimes called a Murphy Bed) should allow for lots of space for day time activities. But first it needs to be assembled. Here's hoping our experience with IKEA products qualifies us to put this puzzle together. On-line commenters warn that it won't be that easy to do. We'll see.
