This Just-Launched Bed Uses a Japanese Joinery Technique That Means You Don't Need to Screw It Together
FlexiSpot's interlocking structure makes it so you can assemble the entire frame with minimal effort
Not to state the obvious, but a bed is the most important feature of any bedroom. It's the epicentre of your sleep environment and is required to be sturdy, practical, and beautiful. But if, like me, you're not quite friendly with a toolbox, then it needs to be easy to set up, too. So, when I came across FlexiSpot's Hako Solid Wood bed Frame (which you can buy on Amazon), I was pleasantly surprised by its mechanics.
Unlike most regular beds that require some amount of drilling to come together, this bed flaunts a Japanese joinery technique that calls for zero power tools. Its cleverly designed precision-fit structure allows for an extremely low-effort installation.
So, if you're buying a bed with low-maintenance building, a clean silhouette, and enduring quality on a budget, here's how to decide if this is the design for you.
When buying a bed frame, it can be tricky to find a style with zero drilling. And if you're wondering how FlexiSpot's Hako Bed Frame comes together without any screws, it builds up like a puzzle. With detailed instructions and durable dowels that are precision-fit, the entire bed can be installed fairly quickly. It also has the Livingetc stamp of approval on design. The soft curved headboard, a clever slim storage shelf that sits covertly behind, and the sleek slanted legs piece together a minimalist bedroom anchor. And if you enjoy sitting up in bed, the Tall Headboard Hako from FlexiSpot offers extra support.
For a bedroom that favors clean lines, this Japanese Joinery Bed Frame from FlexiSpot styled a straight headboard and cylindrical legs. It's the same bed in a different font and includes the same straightforward mechanics as the Hako.
If the FlexiSpot beds are sold out or slightly out of budget, this frame from Brintavo has the same Japanese joinery and a neutral base along with nine inches of under bed storage.
I love the naturally textured wood finish on this wood frame from Amazon. The extended frame around the base of the bed ever so slightly elevates the space, too.
This Hattie Bed Frame from DUSK is praised by customers for its quick installation and easy instructions. And the ribbed wood headboard is an aesthetic feature that caught my eye.
If you're not scared off by a little effort, reviews tell me that this Jérem Bed from La Redoute is easy to put together with a helping hand. And for the integrated floating storage, I'm sure it's worth it.
And if you're in the headspace for a zero effort installation, this classically elegant bed from West Elm has a home delivery and assembly option for a complete unpacking and installation.
