Depending on the height of the "cabinet bed", it can possibly be used practically as a craft-type table.
We considered a Murphy bed and looked around for a second-hand one. The second-hand Murphy beds can be a lot less expensive, but you'll probably have to carefully help take it apart and then put it back together in your home. (It would likely be worth it to save the money.)
We went with a day bed with pop-up trundle in our "3rd bedroom". The guest room is finely furnished and fairly dedicated for guests, and since additional visitors who would need a bed is minimal each year, providing the day bed is quite adequate and keeps the room more open for other purposes ("office" for us). The everyday setting with day bed and trundle is very comfortable for seating, TV, and naps, and the twin size allows for a combined king size bed (with trundle open) as needed.
Having said all that, I have seen very lovely rooms with Murphy beds.
Hope this is helpful.
