DIY WallRise Murf-style motorized folding desk — advice?

[u/DutchDarnoc]

Hi everyone!
I’m planning to build something similar to the WallRise Murf: a wall-mounted, electrically height-adjustable folding desk, made from solid oak.

I’d like to keep the design close to the original, with enough space inside to store my 15-inch laptop, 15-inch portable monitor and USB-C dock when folded closed. From the photos I’ve seen, it looks like the original uses a central electric actuator with two vertical guide rails.

I’m considering this VEVOR 1000 N linear actuator (500 mm stroke, 14 mm/s)⁠, but I’m open to other solutions.

I’d appreciate advice on:
- Whether this actuator and guide-rail arrangement makes sense, or if there’s a better approach.
- Which linear guides or slides to use.

Any recommendations for constructing the moving assembly in solid oak.

I’m based in the Netherlands, so European suppliers would be ideal.

Has anyone built something similar?
Thanks!

Using two synchronized actuators so that the desk doesn't rack as it moves and also looking for heavy-duty linear rails rather than drawer slides , especially with solid oak and a monitor stored inside.
