@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. IKEA and the rest of industry get torn to shreds on this pain point - that doesn't mix well with your logic that it is arguably cheaper to make furniture this way. They wouldn't want to charge more for something people like a lot less. Making furniture that requires assembly is not only cheaper, but much chea… See more
