I was lusting to buy this bed until I saw the headboard. It's just basically a rigid pillow. I decided I want something a bit more substantial than that. The frame though looks perfect.
You're right. It's an entry level headboard. More minimalist. It's all up to what your needs are. We needed something simple in our "apartment phase" of life.
@@IvanBustos The point is pretty obvious so I didn't expect further clarification was necessary but the simple answer is: on avg. housing prices have and continue to increase significantly relative to earnings, meaning less total people can afford a house than previously. Other reasons are population increases, city-centric work and the sustainability plan (moving rural populations to urban), among others.
@@IvanBustos The fact you and individuals in your circle bought homes means nothing. This is an anecdotal perspective for starters but more importantly, whilst some millennials can (obviously) afford a home and will continue to purchase homes from now into the future, the idea is less millennials will be home owners than any other recent generation and from this point onwards, that is a likely trend to continue.
Has the bed gotten to be more stable or does it still wobble like that? I am on the market for a new bed myself and like the Thuma design, but for $900 USD for a queen size (price went up recently) the bed should not budge.
I’m wondering the same thing. I’m guessing it’s due to the construction with how it fits together with no screws. It seems like when he was jumping and flopping on it, it didn’t wobble but moving the frame did. I’m trying to look for some long term reviews on it.
We fell for it too!! Bed looks incredible and everyone has so many good things to say about it. How long did it take for you to receive the bed? We ordered ours last week and were told a month or so.
I preordered and it was supposed to arrive mid-late Sept, but they just sent a note saying it was here and would ship next week. (They also warned of possible fed ex delay)
It took about a month but FedEx is not performing very well right now. One day it said it was coming. The next day it said it was back in LA. So overall, I think it took about a month + 1 week. We're very happy with the bed. Glad we waiting :)
Thanks for this review. I wouldn't want to pay $1000 for a bed that wobbles and has a headboard that is simply a cushion and requires a wall to support it. I love the idea of this bed, but I would have been disappointed.
i love mine, highest quality bed ive ever owned. Nothing like other slat beds, the slats have felt fabric on the ends of them, so they are padded and dont make noise, and they make different accessories for the bed that match. There is a fabric sleeve that can hold a laptop / books / your glasses off the side of the bed, or they make night stands that match... i have the nightstand too. All of their stuff is super solid and will last a looooong time
Interesting, I have zero wobble for mine, it really makes a difference once you start putting weight i think as it settles and the way theirs wobbles has to be defective!
I just made one of these for my daughter. It also wobbles a little bit. I don’t feel nearly as bad now that I see the Thuma bed also wobbles. For those of you wondering about the wobbles, it’s the design of the bed that causes this. The parts fit together fairly tightly, but can’t be too tight, otherwise they would be harder to assemble/disassemble. The small gaps in the joints translate to wobble with the application of horizontal force. Sort of a trade off for not having more hardware to hold it together
@@michaelhinchey I thought that, too, but just looked at several others similar or other styles on Etsy and, at least the ones I was interested in, were quite a bit more expensive.
Have you grabbed it by the end plank and pulled it towards yourself? We didn't notice any noise at all with it, but when I apply some force while pulling, it does rattle.
I've seen many advertisements promoting the Thuma bed frame and I've read a few reviews. The bed frame seems excellent in every way except for the price. It is outrageously expensive! Also, like many people have said, why must we also purchase the head board? I'm afraid it's because of the hefty cost and no standalone bed frame option that I will have to pass on this purchase. I'm not writing to bitch and complain. I'm writing because I know that the Thuman bed frame is an excellent product and I want Thuma to succeed. All the best.
@@gavinostertag1023 $900 for a bed frame? That's absolutely crazy. $1,000 for a smart phone? That's absolutely crazy. This reminds me of my niece when she doesn't get her way, "But mom, it's only money!"
@@paigoomein Yeah, that's true. It is still a pretty hard wood and quite a good quality bed. We ended up buying one around 6 months ago and have loved it.
Ty for sharing. Idk for 1000 bucks i would think that it would be much more solid. Just sayin. Im on a fixed budget so i think ill go for a more reasonably priced one. You could wedge tiny pieces of wood in the gaps...? I guess but you shouldn't have to for $1000 bux!!! Blessings to you two!!
