This frame is approximately $800 too expensive. Anything above $500 for a simple frame is way too much (and no, USB ports don't make up the extra value).

@nealrs @jzsd Hi guys! The fairness of the price is something we pride ourselves on, it took a lot of work to make this economical. The key thing to realize is this - the USB outlets and the fast toolless assembly are value additions on top of what is already a very premium bed frame.

@jzsd @nealrs @gabriel__lewis Hey Jonathan! 1.
