I'm curious how it sleeps and wears over time. I was thinking of building one like that, but decided against it because of the concern of the joints between the legs and the rails: if it's loose enough to assemble in the summer time without an almighty hammer, it seems like it'd be subject to a fair bit of racking and rattling during the winter when the air is much drier.

Does anyone here have any long-term experience with this kind of bed?

I’ve had a Thuma frame for over a year now.

No rattling, no loosening. I plan to purchase another one (a king size) later this year.

Going on 2 years it's the best bed I've had. Completely silent and sturdy.
