I have now set up and taken apart this bed 3 times through 3 different moves. The most relevant part in the setup is the ratcheting and how to get it right. Every time I watch it, I'm reminded that this video speeds through that part like it's the easiest piece. Wish we had paid about half of what we did for this bed. And I wish they'd redo the video or do a specific slowed down part for the ratchet. I always have to look up other videos on how to get it right. For 1k you pay for shit to be seamless and easy or else why pay that much
design is great ....waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced.
Did you buy it?
I love the simplicity but the price is ridiculous
@@Kevin-sy8uf I bought it & loved it, throw it on a payment plan so worth it & all the wood is sustainably sourced! (That’s why the pricing is so crazy)
@@sagetheworld hey thatsfor the reply.
I ended up pulling the trigger on Thuma bc of the backrest
@@sagetheworld Not the cheapest varieties of wood either. People are acting like this is pine rather than Walnut, Birch (priced cheapest of the three), and Oak.
Get the size you predict you'll need. The "Expansion Kit" is ridiculously overpriced (400-ish USD). A single slab of wood.
You sped past the most important part!
What was that?
Floyds so pricey like $1500. Anyone knows similar design around $500. I wish ikea makes something like this.
@@iii___iii do you have a link to the Etsy one?
@@iii___iii that’s a shame, thanks for looking
@@iii___iii thanks!
@@iii___iii Thank you so much! I just looked that one up, I think I might get it!
@@jack-yn1wt Zinus sells bed frames that are easy to setup. I’m considering a new frame from them
Great bed, frustrating instructions/assembly. They show you the big picture of how it’s supposed to work but not the nuance required to make it all work. Hard to get brackets into position and ratchet strap on notches while keeping everything together, once assembled though it is really quite nice.
how to use the god damn strap???????
I was desperate for a bed frame and got this. I was disappointed seeing ratchet ties when I opened the box. I didn’t read the fine print or assembly when I purchased it. The wood is hollow sounding. The birch veneer plywood is cheap looking. If u buy go for the darker colored one….which they charge extra for. The bed creeks moving around…bed noise is my biggest pet peeve for a bed. It feels somewhat stable once assembled though….but the cheap would making crackling noise drives me nuts.
Showing you how to use ratchet straps incorrectly
Yeah and now I have two sets of Bed straps that are stuck and And they’re not tightened correctly.
Thank you for saying it!!! I get confused every time I have to set up this damn bed and i think you've identified why
That’s not how you cinch those straps, gotta pull the slack first.
what can you expect from a hipster city slicker putting together a 1200 bed that should really only cost 200 lol
I'm a hipster city slicker and even I know how to use ratchet straps properly 😂
watched this to see how to thread the ratchet strap and this was no help. thanks.
this guy didn't even follow the instructions lmfao
Kind of basic and cheap looking with the metal and the ratchet straps. Also, no air flow for the mattress with this style. Not my cup of tea.
to me, the metal and ratchet straps seem premium, but only if this is the aesthetic you’re going for
Great video thanks!
Over a thousand dollars for some plywood with veneers and metal brackets. Anyone who buys this is insane.
A A91 lol I’m trying to make it make sense😫😫 it’s the bed I want, but I’d be better off diy’ing this
bstokeling91 They sell the the framework for the bed by itself on their website, I’m thinking of locally sourcing it myself. It takes away about 3/4th of the cost when compared to buying the whole bed.
Nicholas Geldi this is actually great to know! I’m pretty handy and was looking into diy’ing a platform bed but it seemed so labor intensive. I think I could swing it with this framework though.
@@NickatN1te how’d that go?
Seems like not enough airflow for the mattress.
seems like I could make this in my garage for $50
@@lt38217 - You couldn't buy the raw metal for the supports for $50. Then you'd have to spend time designing them, welding them, painting them. That's not to mention all the plywood, inch and a half thick and all the finishing that goes into it. It's not worth what they charge, but you couldn't make this for under $400, plus hours upon hours of labour. Is your time free? If so, I have a bunch of yard work that needs doing.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH the wood doesn't need all that finishing. Just sand it, stain, and coat it. I'm actually building something similar
VinceTooley sand stain and coat=finishing.
OMGWTFLOL I have a laser cutter at my disposal and was considering this myself. Definitely not 50 bucks. And a real pain in the ass without an automated steel cutter. You’d have do do many tests on length of the steel strips before you’d come to the right length after putting all the bends in there. Or you could just weld all the angles from separate pieces which would suck more. Then there’s all the grinding if you don’t weld perfect lines. And still more grinding even if you bend if you take the edges and corners off like you do with wood. Then there’s painting, or powder coating, or patina. Then drilling and hardware for the fasteners. Then glueing up the 3 1/2” plywood sheets and cutting them. Id be tempted to use black walnut slabs and dimension them which is even more labor intensive and expensive. And sanding and finishing. There’s quite a bit.
I’d just do the wood parts and let my buddy with a metal shop do all the metal. But I’m actually a bit tempted.
For that much money, they shouldn't least sand the edges
why pay all that money when the blue prints free🤣🤣🤣
Do you know where we can get blue print?
build one for me then
The shin destroyer 50000
do not buy this ..it's sturdy for a few
months ... then it is the loudest, creakiest, squeakiest bed on earth ... and no matter how many times you adjust it you cannot get the creaking to stop. this bed is an overpriced toy ... invest your money in a real bed.
Good to know since it's such an overpriced bed platform
Bad tutorial. Needs closeup
Terrible...
Trying to make money with George Floyd’s name is actually sick !!! Not shopping here !!
From the site
"The name Floyd harkens back to co-founder Kyle Hoff's family name - Kyle’s great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all share the first name Floyd and were all once steelworkers in Youngstown, Ohio."
But hey, you do you.
i thought a "floyd" bedframe was one that when you put your knee on it, it says "i can't breeve", and kills over.
True to its Detroit heritage, it is poorly deigned, poorly finished, over priced piece of junk. The planks are held together by tightening two ratchet straps that go around the bottom leg posts. If you over tighten the straps the planks will buckle and push upwards. If you under tighten the straps the leg posts separate and the planks sag. The finish was terrible, the polyurethane coating was smeared and still had painters tape stuck on the back. What should cost a few hundred bucks is priced over a thousand dollars. Don’t believe any of the cute videos and the five star reviews, spend your money on something of quality and value.
