Seems that way

I've always liked the idea of the slide out platform, just don't like the height that's lost for it.

They are not the originators of the idea... but guess the first with " power"

I do love the idea and had thought about putting one of the current manual sliders in my bed. Love the idea!

Wonder how much weight it can hold in the extended position before it bends/breaks?
