Maybe another model of bed that can also be assembled to click and it is not so costly and not so heavy? Or a night table to assemble same style and with secret area to hide a protective gun for females and also maybe on wheels, for easy to move for senior citizens? 🙂 Thank you
Please stop calling this "high quality solid wood"!!! It is upcycled and glued Rubberwood, from South American rubber trees that have run their latex-producing cycle. And rather than burn the trees like they normally do, some marketing genius decided to sell the wood for furniture to overseas companies and then those companies charge a ridiculous price for Ikea-quality furniture. And it isnt true Japanese joinery. The joints on the 4 corners are castle joints, but is not a true Kigumi bed. I can and in fact have made the same bed for less than $300 (American Pine) which is stronger and more durable than that. Rubberwood is one of, if not THE lowest quality wood for furniture making, and absolutely does not hold up to moisture or damage. Great marketing and easy of assembly concept though
I'm here because of the comment section. A Thuma "review" showed up in my youtube feed and I bit the hook. What a clever way to disguise a marketing ploy! It is not a review at all, but !0000% push. Gotta hand it to the word-smith, though! Now I'm going to listen to this real review. Thank You for this platform (pardon the pun!).
I watched. Great review. The 'cons' are irrelevant. Life is effortful at times, especially for something of worth. Plus, I've avoided osteoporosis with a lifetime of lifting heavy objects, and am still limber and strong, arthritis-free, at nearly eighty. Thanks for this real review and the close-ups of snug-fitting joints. Enjoy your beautiful bed!
It costs so much bc it is solid wood, which makes it very sturdy and built to last forever. Most other bed frames are MDF. Of course it is overpriced for a bed frame but you will be hard pressed to find a solid wood bedframe for less.
Why is there so much emphasis in the ease and glory of putting together a Thuma product? I mean, you only do it once and it’s set for life. I couldn’t care less how miserable the assembly is as long as it’s a long-lasting durable and comfortable bed.
A lot of people move frequently from place to place, especially when they're young/renting. Being able to move/disassemble the bed easily by yourself is a BIG selling point for those kinds of people.
that, is the reason, why it is so expensive. try making it yourself, with the same wood it uses. wood, does not seem to grow on Trees anymore. my father did wood work and 95% of my furniture was made by him. this would be a frame, I would be proud to own. oh yeah, I have an elevator to carry it upstairs. LoL!
No. Your father would explain how cheap Rubberwood is. In fact it most likely wasnt used back in his day. I build furniture myself, and can make this bed for under $300 out of American Pine, with the upholstered headboard, and it would be stronger and better quality than press-glued butcherblock style Rubberwood. These beds are nothing but a gimmick, as Ive seen at least 4 or 5 other companies advertised this same concept in diffefent variations on FB for anywhere between $1100 to $2500. A simple DIYer could do this on a weeked working at a casual pace
So I own and operate a woodshop for a living. I build custom cabinetry and fine furniture for more discerning people. Ive been doing this for 20 years now. I dont know a lot of things, but I know wood and even more so woodworking. So is this Thuma frame the best bed frame? The simple answer is no. The lengthier answer is that its not even close to being the best, so absolutely not. Listen what you have in Thuma is a company that's capitalizing on lazy ignorant Americans, calling it quality craftsmanship, and charging people much money for it. These beds are made out of rubberwood. Rubberwood is basically a byproduct who primary purpose is latex and only when stops producing latex they cut it down, mill it and sell it to cheap furniture makers. Rubberwood is a fairly soft hardwood, an unappealing wood grain, large pours that makes it stain unevenly, and is very susceptible to moisture. So if you live in humid climates, Id leave this one alone. The joints on this bed fit very loosely, which is made worse by the fact that the ends of the rails are finger jointed, so its not even one piece. This is a no no for a bed which has to withstand a lot of dynamic force, especially if those using the bed are heavier people. Id also be very careful moving the assembled bed frame around the room. Thuma is charging nearly 2 grand for these bed frames with the headboard and its a rip off. Are they worth it? Hell no
