Ordered the bedframe and headboard on Oct 1, 2024 and received them on February 10, 2025. Super great quality! Feels super sturdy and doesn't creak at all. Absolutely in love with it aside from the fact I chose the wrong color.. Now I need to find a way to sell this before ordering a new one in the right color (honey oak) which means quite some more time before I can fully settle into it. 🤦 Either way, look how pretty! I'm really glad I went with Tatami Room and these styles. Sharing photos here to help anyone else considering ordering because I spent so much time looking at photos of the different colors and styles before ordering myself!

Hi all!

I know some folks consider options other than Thuma. I wanted to share that I just purchased the TatamiRoom.com Tall Tatami bed in Honey Oak with the “mado classic” headboard, and I am so happy with it! While it took about 6 weeks to come, it was well worth the wait.

The bed is sturdy, easy to put together, comes packaged very well, and looks great in our room.

The tatami room customer service is also unparalleled. Pin was so helpful when I was choosing a bed. When the bed we ordered became available, Jason called to let me know the bed was here but the headboard hadn’t arrived yet. He also shared the specs of some of the other headboards and beds that they had in stock already. We ended up switching from the Ensui w/ headboard to the Tall Tatami w/ Mado Classic headboard, as the dimensions worked so much better for our space. I have never had such good customer service and I’m so glad we made the switch!

I’ve attached some photos of the headboard and side of the bed. We’re only a week into sleeping on the bed, but so so happy with it!

I know this is the Thuma sub reddit, but not sure where to share this.

It was just about 6 months to get it LOL but, it is awesome! Set it up last night and it is very nice in quality and color. Very sturdy.

The packaging was impressive. No damages. Just tons of boxes I’m now breaking down.

I got the Yamaguchi king bed frame with the Magari head board.

One thing to know is that you should open up the package that the headboard came in because there’s different instructions. We ended up assembling the whole bed and then realized that we had to backtrack a couple steps in order to fit the headboard into the main frame because we had to remove the original frame. So now I just have a piece of the bottom frame under the bed that I won’t be using since I have the headboard.

Not a huge deal. But it is absolutely awesome and it was worth the wait. Even tho 6 months is insane 🤣

Now I need to find cool art work for above the bed as my previous headboard was way taller. And new night stands hahaha

I've been on the fence between Tatami Room and Thuma for AGES and finally pulled the trigger on Tatami Room (I preferred the square legs, but may splurge and buy the Thuma pillow board–best of both worlds!).

I'm very pleased so far, but mainly wanted to share info about the wood finish since the photos on their website are low quality.

I ordered the natural finish, which does have a slight gloss. It's a bit lighter than I imagined it would be but a nice neutral tone. To my surprise, the slats and support beam came it what appears to be the honey oak color (perhaps an error on their side). Perfect for showing a side by side for anyone who might be curious!

Recently received my Tall Tatami Platform Bed and Tall Bedside Table and thought I’d share pictures, since similar posts on this site helped me decide which company to choose. Note that some pictures are mine, and others were actually provided by Tatami Room when I asked for additional images (shared with permission).

Overall I am impressed with the quality and sturdiness, so I highly recommend this frame and bedside table.

Note: I have mostly left Reddit since Apollo went down, so my responses to comments will likely be few and far between. Leaving this post up so it helps people in the future.

---------- Updates ----------------

(almost) 2 year update (Feb 2024): Still going strong, still recommend, still very happy with the purchase. My answers to all previous comments still stand.

1 year update (March 2023): Still going strong!

Update June 2022: Received the drawers! I’m overall satisfied by them, but they have some flaws, and on top of that I think two wheels got damaged in transit. See below for more details.

---------- OG Review ------------------

Overall things to note:

• The bed frame took about 20 minutes to put together. Most of that time was reading the directions and making sure the rails and the like were facing the right way.

• It took approximately three lifetimes to get everything out of the boxes and packaging that they came in. (This ended up being a good thing - the products themselves didn’t have so much as a scratch)

• The bed frame can be assembled by one able-bodied person

• I put pads on the bottom of the frame so the floor wouldn’t get scratched, so I can’t do a proper shake test. I’ve walked around on top of it, though, and it hasn’t budged.

• Didn’t get the headboard because would cover the windows. You can see it in some company-provided pictures and a link to another Reddit review at the bottom though

• The drawers on the bedside table open very smoothly

• They took about two months to arrive, but I’m actually still waiting on the storage drawers that I ordered at the same time. However, I’m not remotely upset about any of this. For one, they had a banner on their site saying there would be long delays, so I knew before I even had the items in the cart. Also, when it was time for the frame and bedside table to ship, they reached out and confirmed that I wanted to go through with the order, and they told that the drawers wouldn’t be arriving until May (update: they shipped in May and arrived in early June)

• Customer service was really responsive. I emailed them a few times, and they were happy to answer my questions. I still can’t believe they sent me additional pictures lol

• I got the honey oak color. I was expecting it to be a bit more yellow from other Reddit pictures, but it’s definitely more brown. Still very nice. Also, there is one natural finish picture from the company below

• My mattress is about 10 inches tall

• Edit: It has two support legs attached to one middle support rail. See comment for more info

• Update on the drawers: They look great. Most of the drawers are made up of the sturdy wood used in the bed frame, and the colors match exactly. In a nice touch, the top of the front of the drawer actually overlaps with the bottom of the bed frame side rail, so the drawer won’t get lost beneath the frame. However, the bottom of the drawer is particle board, and a small sliver snapped off during assembly. Also, for one of the drawers, a side piece seems to be cut unevenly, because it doesn’t lay flush with the other pieces. (You can zoom in on the “front view with drawers” image below - look at the bottom left corner of the drawer on the right.) In the end, though, l didn’t really care enough, so I didn’t reach out to Customer Service. Edit: I hear scratching against the hardwood when I open one of the drawers. Something must have happened to the wheels in transit, as the box the drawer came in was damaged where the wheels are. (See attached picture “Damaged Drawer Packaging.”) I cannot believe I didn’t realize this earlier. I took the picture because I was worried and thought I’d tested both drawers!

• Edit: Someone in the comments below got confirmation from Tatami Room that the handles for the drawers are not in the middle (as displayed on their site) but on the top (as displayed by my pictures)

Happy to answer any other questions!

Wanted to share my recent purchase from Tatamiroom; the Ensui king bed frame with headboard since this sub helped me decide between a frame from tatamiroom or Thuma.

Ordered on 27 Jan and received on 13 March, so about a 6 week wait. The packaging that the headboard came in was damaged and there was a scratch and a dent on the back of the frame but I decided to keep it anyway since it didn't affect its looks nor functionality. Though, it baffles me why they only wrapped the headboard with a piece of plastic before putting it in a box with no other protection (the front of the headboard had a very thin of foam to protect, followed by the plastic wrap). Would have liked the headboard to be higher, but I l'll probably get used to it.

The slats are very sturdy and 2 inches apart which gives great support for a heavy latex mattress. 18 slats across the entire frame, vs Thuma's 15 (counted from images on Thuma's website).

Despite that, overall very happy with the bed and price paid. A similar set up from Thuma would have cost me about $700-800 extra.

Happy to answer any Qs and sorry for the subpar image.
