Magic Bed by Flexsteel and Glastop Inc

I wanted to share some pictures of the new magic bed from Flexsteel that I installed in my trailer. Many people look for solutions to replace aging sofa beds or dinettes. I read the blog on the VAP which lead me to order the same thing. The unit weighs just over 100 lbs, and installed pretty easy using 4 bolts. The only inconvenience was not having alot of room to manuver the drill under the sofa. Here is a picture of the finished product with dining table.



Pricing the magic bed out only brought three real competitors for our business. The best overall cost we received was through Glastop in Florida. Our original order was for a cloth sofabed, but for some reason, it was not delivered on the date that Glastop. Since I told Glastop that I absolutely had to have my magic bed by the 21st, they shipped out a unit they had in stock to make up for it. The piece they sent to us was Ultra Leather instead of cloth. On Friday, BOTH sofas were delivered at the same time. This became a logistical nightmare for Glastop. They spent their own money to ship the leath unit to us to save face and provide great customer service. The shipping company has rejected their claim to cover the cost of shipping the sofa back even though the unit was over a week past its' due date. In the end, I received the Ultra Leather couch for an additional $250....a small price to pay. I would highly recommend Glastop to anyone considering new RV furniture.
