The Kali Board 90/120 is a wall bed system designed to offer a space-saving solution, integrating a bed and a desk into a single unit. This product is available in two sizes: Kali Board 90 and Kali Board 120, catering to different mattress dimensions and weight specifications. The system is engineered for secure wall attachment and features a mechanism that allows the bed to be stowed away, revealing a functional desk.
Function Description
The primary function of the Kali Board 90/120 is to provide a versatile furniture piece that transitions between a bed and a desk. When the bed is closed, a desk surface is available for use. When the bed is opened, the desk mechanism retracts, allowing the bed frame to descend. This dual-purpose design is ideal for small living spaces, home offices, or guest rooms where maximizing floor area is crucial. The wall bed system is designed to be securely anchored to a wall, ensuring stability and safety during operation.

Usage Features
The Kali Board 90/120 is designed for ease of use and safety, with several key features:
- Dual Functionality: Seamlessly transitions between a comfortable bed and a functional desk, optimizing space utilization.
- Secure Wall Attachment: The system must be securely anchored to the wall at four locations using appropriate hardware. This is a critical safety feature, and the installer must select the correct anchoring hardware based on the wall composition. For solid concrete walls, specific anchors are provided. For wooden studs, wood screws must be used, and for other wall compositions, suitable anchors must be selected by a professional.
- Adjustable Leveling Feet: The horizontal bottom panel includes adjustable feet (det. 2a) to compensate for uneven floors, ensuring the structure is level and plumb after installation.
- Locking Levers: The bed frame features two locking levers on its sides. These must be pressed down to open the bed, indicating a secure locking mechanism when the bed is in the closed position.
- Desk Design: The desk is positioned against the front of the structure and rests on top of the desk brackets. It features rounded corners, which should face outwards when installed.
- Optional Wand Lighting (Kali 90/120): The system supports optional wand lighting. Installation involves drilling a 1/2" hole at 37 7/8" from the bottom of the structure (from inside) and 1 1/2" from the side. A mounting plate is then installed with wood screws, aligning with the drilled holes. It is important to note that a receptacle cannot be placed directly behind the wall bed.
Maintenance Features
While the manual does not explicitly detail ongoing maintenance, several aspects can be inferred from the installation instructions and general product design:
- Professional Installation: The product requires installation by a licensed contractor or a trained professional. This ensures proper assembly and installation, which is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the unit. Warranties are only valid if the product is properly assembled and installed by a trained professional.
- Hardware Tightening: All hardware must be properly tightened during installation, and no parts should be left loose or unstable. Regular checks of the hardware for tightness are recommended to ensure continued safety and stability.
- Wall Anchor Integrity: If the product is ever removed from the wall, new anchor holes must be drilled, and new hardware must be used. This emphasizes the importance of secure and intact wall anchors for the product's safety.
- Mattress Compatibility: Adhering to the recommended mattress weight and dimensions is essential for the proper functioning of the bed mechanism and to prevent undue stress on the frame.
- Cleaning: Although not specified, general cleaning of the desk and bed frame surfaces with appropriate cleaning agents would be standard maintenance to preserve the aesthetic and hygienic condition of the furniture.
- Mechanism Inspection: Periodically inspecting the bed and desk mechanisms for smooth operation and any signs of wear could help identify potential issues before they become significant.
The Kali Board 90/120 is a sophisticated piece of furniture designed for modern living, offering a blend of functionality, space efficiency, and robust construction, provided it is installed and maintained according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
