No Allen wrench necessary
Photo: Thuma The last time I moved into a new apartment, there were two questions keeping me up at night: How I was going to disassemble my metal 14-piece bed frame , and how I was going to reassemble it once I got to my new place. I’m far from handy — and prone to tears when left alone with an Allen wrench and a poorly printed diagram — so much so that I once paid my former roommate $10 to reattach the legs on a desk I’d purchased from Craigslist.
You understand my skepticism when I started getting ads from Thuma for the Bed, a wooden bed frame that claimed to require zero tools for assembly. According to the brand, the pieces of the Japanese-joinery-inspired frame would fit together like a puzzle. The slats would fit snugly into the recessed base, and the headboard would simply slide in between the wall and the mattress — and the whole thing required just two hand-tightened screws, no screwdrivers, wrenches, or diddly-bobs required.
Once unwrapped, I set a timer and read through the instructions. As per the instructions, I started by assembling one corner of the bed, which required fitting together what were essentially three 3-D wooden puzzle pieces: the leg, and two long side beams. The pieces fit together intuitively and seamlessly — there were no gaps or ill-fitting screws — and I felt almost like a child playing with a set of fancy wooden blocks.
The slats, though heavy, were easy to unroll and secure into the recessed frame, and the headboard required no hardware at all: It simply fit into the leftover space between the frame, the wall, and the mattress. In total, assembly took 20 minutes, while unpacking and cleanup took another 30, and I’d guess that more seasoned furniture assemblers will require even less.
