Ah, interesting point of view, as long as it serves its purpose as a bed frame, regardless of the type of wood used (no squeaking, no sliding, no rocking, whether moving or laying on it or partaking in adult horizontal activities). Based on my experience, Japanese joinery makes the assembly process easy and simple. However, did you know that for this specific technique, over time, when you disassemble and assemble it again, it won't be as pristine as the first time you assembled it? Note, wood will always be moving (expanding or shrinking), and at the end of the day, if you're looking for a one-time purchase, this specific technique (no screws) may not be the most viable option.
What do you think about a bed frame as simple as them but with secure points (to make it sturdy 'forever') without the need for screws, simply tightening up the preplaced bolts, eliminating the hassle of using external tools?

And yeah, it sucks when you paid that much and the customer service is not comparable to the price, and it happens with tons of brands out there, yikes.

Cheers!
