"When crafted expertly, its sturdiness and lifespan are pretty unparalleled-especially in an era of short-lived, cheap furniture from Amazon. I'm all for operating within your budget, but I'm also someone who believes that solid-wood furniture and its craftsmanship can't be beat. Maybe it's because I grew up near an area that used to be a landmark epicenter of furniture production, High Point, North Carolina."
"To set sleepers up for success, I researched the best bed frames on the market. One platform bed frame in particular was highly recommended by multiple members of the WIRED Reviews team: the Thuma Classic Bed frame, or "The Bed" for short. Thuma's ethos revolves around sustainability, easy assembly, and quality. I had to see for myself how the Classic Bed frame upheld these standards."
"I've covered Japanese joinery bed frames before in my guide to the best Thuma dupes (for those of us balling on a budget). For the most part, furniture and buildings made with this ancient technique are meant to be put together without tools or screws. It's not just for simplicity's sake, as it's intended for stability. The Japanese joinery technique was developed to support Japanese architecture and keep it structurally intact during earthquakes."
Solid-wood furniture offers unmatched sturdiness and lifespan when well crafted, often justifying higher cost. Solid rubberwood construction gives the bed a modern, museum-like appearance. The Thuma Classic Bed frame employs a Japanese joinery, Tetris-like stacking system that enables tool-free assembly and enhances stability by focusing support on the mattress. Thuma emphasizes sustainability, easy assembly, and quality in the Classic model. Initial use can produce creaks, and packaging may need more padding to prevent surface scratches during shipping. The assembly technique derives from traditional joinery designed for structural integrity during earthquakes. A sturdy frame is crucial for mattress performance.
