Shenzhen Deshunyi Household Products Co., Ltd. is a company with operations in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia with Huizhou (120,000m2) and Vietnam (100,000 m2) operations. Our workforce comprises 1,800+ employees and our products are over 3,000 containers annually, specialty metal bed frames and storage solutions. One key insight? A standard metal king bed frame doesn't fit all markets. Considerable customization is made by regional preferences. The four listed below are four of the most important regional differences that ought to be taken into consideration during the sourcing process.
1. North America: Size, Strength & Tool-Free Assembly
Large bedrooms and no hassle installation are greatly appreciated in the US and Canadian markets. King frames are 76 inches by 80 inches(193cmx203cm) and made of heavy-weight steel (2.0mm+) to carry 1,500+ lbs. The customers insist that they be able to assemble the tools without a tool, within less than 20 minutes, have easy-to-follow instructions and be able to fold the design of the tools when they want to send it back. Other stylish aspects, such as black (matte) or bronze finish and 13-inch distance between the bottom and the store to place bins are also stylish. The anti-slip tape and noise-free rubber slats of the support bars are to reduce the movement of the mattress- a demand of an adjustable bed.
2. Europe: Space Efficiency & Minimalist Aesthetics
European houses are less likely to have bedrooms and even king frames (160cmx 200cm or 180cmx 200cm) ought to appear smooth. Low-profile headboards, narrow side rails (less than 2 inches) and neutral colors (white, gray, taupe) are predominant. The customers are fond of space saving qualities: a built-in USB port in the headboard, inbuilt nightstands or casters to move. The ecological-standards are high, - frames are required to be REACH- and RoHS-certified and have a flat-pack envelope to minimize shipping space. Many of the European customers also request wood slats which are certified by FSC instead of plastic components.
3. Asia-Pacific: Multifunctionality & Compact Living
The king bed frame is created using metal, which can be frequently transported to a congested city such as Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai. Some of the popular customization includes the hydraulic lift-up decks that open up under-bed drawers, phone/glasses side shelves and foldable side tables. It is able to be reduced to local size mattress (180cmx190cm). The high rust resistance demanded by humidity at coastal locations (especially in Vietnam and Southern China) is zinc plating and powder coating with salt spray resistance of 300+ hours. Colorful (navy blue, olive green) colors are more and more demanded, as they are rounded to be child-safe.
4. Middle East & Africa: Ornate Details & Heavy-Duty Use
Bed frames are statement pieces in some of the markets such as UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Gilded or of brass lattice or scrollwork, tufted faux leather decorations on metal frames are also in vogue. Capacity of weight is very important- the king frames are used by many families in seating multi-generational during the day. Bending is prevented by reinforced center beams that have 5-7 legs. Dust-proof slat systems (closed, but not open gaps) are used in a sandy environment. The suppliers are in need to provide rust-proofing that would withstand high humidity, which would be in a coastal city such as Dubai or Lagos.
Conclusion
The metal king bed frame is not a one-size-fits-all product demanded in the global market. North America desires durable and simple to assemble, Europe desires bare certified design, Asia-Pacific desires adaptive space-savers and the Middle East/Africa thrives in opulent durability. Being a well established manufacturer and having a cross continental manufacturing facility, Deshunyi is well positioned to customize the gauge thickness, coatings, packaging and add-ons to your local customers. We provide flexibility of customizing as far as storage of the vinyl records, shoe rack, and bed frame.
