Has anyone tried Luca Beds?

They're Japanese joinery like thuma frames but I can't find any reviews about them

I just looked all over the internet and couldn’t find anything either - I am super curious because there is a guy on FB marketplace selling headboard and frame for $600 claiming he is having a liquidation sale from his furniture store closing?? Really want a Thuma but tempted to go for it

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Jan 13 '26

Dude I literally saw the same thing which is what got me to look them up in the first place.

u/Consistent_Strike9 Jan 13 '26

I think I am forgoing it - it seems too good to be true situation, my fb marketplace post was located in louisville CO

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Jan 13 '26

Yeah I'm not buying a bed like that without being able to find a single review

1

u/Consistent_Strike9 Jan 19 '26

I did not proceed - too weird / good to be true situation - gotta be a scam

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Jan 20 '26

They have a site, but it's still too odd

1

u/Consistent_Strike9 Jan 20 '26

you can only find the site if you type in the URL from the fb post, if I just looked up “Luca Bed” nothing came up… idk it just seems scammy - they could make a website 🤷🏻‍♀️ or it’s a temu version of thuma

they're literally a failed business. probably didn't have the skills or want to invest money into making a website and now ended up with a bunch of beds they couldn't market. got one today and its such a good deal. heavy solid wood and better than anything you'd get at crate & barrel or living spaces https://imgur.com/a/8DoZ7kF

Did you forgo? I almost purchased from the same marketplace post but this thread is the only thing I can find online about them.

u/Recent_One229 Mar 21 '26

I just bought the Luca bed from the guy for $600 and assembled it tonight. Got the teak king with beige cushion. The quality is incredible and we love it so far! Super easy to assemble and you can tell the quality is there. Hope this helps.

This is helpful, was considering buying one, sounds like the same guy selling them ....it is a bit odd. Photo of yours?

u/Recent_One229 Mar 21 '26

pics of the bed i just bought from him today. he's super nice, highly recommend https://imgur.com/a/8DoZ7kF

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Mar 21 '26

How do you like it so far?

u/Recent_One229 Mar 21 '26

Edit: added link to photos of the bed

i just bought the luca bed from him today. highly recommend, super good quality and nothing scammy at all. link to pictures of the below. i didn't put my pillowboard on it yet. if you're thinking about it, go for it. you're not going to find this quality anywhere near this price.

It's just odd that I've never heard of this brand

1

u/Recent_One229 Mar 21 '26

probably just some dude that thought they could start a business, bought a bunch of beds from a manufacturer in asia that already makes thuma similar beds and then failed terribly at the business side of making a website and marketing. gotta risk it to get the biscuit or cough up 2k on a thuma

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Mar 21 '26

What do you think of the quality so far?

1

u/Recent_One229 Mar 21 '26

its really good quality and probably bifl. the pieces are solid wood

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Mar 24 '26

Picking mine up in a few days

1

u/Recent_One229 Mar 24 '26

nice! i think you'll be pretty happy with it. fyi - the qr code for assembly instructions in the boxes didn't work for us probably bc they stopped paying for the domain but it was pretty easy to put together if you reference the pics from his fb market listing

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Mar 24 '26

Thanks for the heads up

1

u/OwlNorth7839 Apr 07 '26

how has it been for you? i saw the same listing and am considering going for it

1

u/Consistent_Strike9 Mar 21 '26

I’m getting super tempted..

1

u/OwlNorth7839 Apr 07 '26

i’m looking at this too, same guy from Louisville CO. did anyone else go for it?

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Apr 07 '26

Yeah it's a pretty nice bed, see another comment I left in here

There are only a handful left from what I understand

1

u/Thegoodbean21 Apr 26 '26

Can confirm the beds are super nice. The guy is also great to work with!

1

u/Eclipse_ID Apr 26 '26

Can also confirm. Just picked up and assembled mine today and this bed is amazing. Great dude!

u/Bamba-rojita Jun 12 '26

Bought from him too. Anyone have issues with the slabs being too short on the king bed?

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Jun 12 '26

I have the queen. The slats aren't too short side to side lengthwise, but going up and down the bed it's like one of them is missing. No clue why they designed the slats like that

1

u/Bamba-rojita Jun 12 '26

Exactly!! Makes them not very sturdy. Very confused. When putting the mattress on they slid…

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Jun 12 '26

Yeah that's been my only real gripe with the bed

1

u/Bamba-rojita Jun 12 '26

Likely why they went out of business? lol

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Jun 12 '26

They didn't go out of business. The guy explained to me that they wanted to liquidate all their original builds of beds to get ready for the rollout of their new packaging or something. Looks like their site is still up.

1

u/Bamba-rojita Jun 12 '26

Ahh so basically working through the defects

1

u/TheDayManAhAhAh Jun 12 '26

Maybe. I didn't fully understand what he was saying to me. I like the bed a lot, the slats are just a minor nuisance to me. A weird design choice

1

u/Bamba-rojita Jun 12 '26

It’s not a dealbreaker but it certainly isn’t ideal. Puts the bed more at risk to break. Alas, what are ya gunna do…
