At our warehouse in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
We do our best to keep all of our products as clean as possible. You don’t want to be breathing toxic air for eight hours every night! All products are Carb P2 Compliant. This is one of the most stringent regulations in effect to limit formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products.
Quagga beds are solid, so you don’t need one. However, if it’s a personal preference, feel free to add one to your Quagga bed. All of our bed frames are capable of having box springs on them. Just check the dimensions on the product page of your Quagga bed to make sure your box spring will fit properly.
Because why not! It’s essentially two bed frames in one. So if you buy an expandable Quagga bed frame but want to upgrade your mattress in the future, you don’t have to buy an entirely new bed frame.
The No Fuss Plus expands from Single to Double size and from Queen to King size.
Quagga beds take under ten minutes to assemble. Chances are it’ll take you longer to unpack the bed frame than it will be to assemble it.
Absolutely! Quagga bed frames are highly customizable, so you can throw on any paint or stain that you want. (Feel free to tag and share with us on social media).
Very strong. The slats are flipped on their sides which gives them 5x more strength. Each bed can hold between 505lbs - 685lbs.
Yes. We have tested a wide variety of mattresses on all of our bed frames to ensure all types of mattresses are compatible.
Yes! We do our best to be as kind to the environment as possible. “FSC Certified Lumber aims to be the 'gold standard' of 'eco-friendly' lumber, and it's an assurance that this wood product has been harvested from a sustainably managed forest.”
Our products are exclusively online and we don’t have a showroom. Sorry about that!
Quagga products are not made for outdoor usage, so we recommend keeping them inside to prevent any damage.
Quagga products are made from high quality birch harvested from beautiful forests in Quebec.
We use a water-based glue which is non-toxic.
Whatever we can. All Quagga products are FSC Certified, meaning the trees that we harvest are replenished.
Bending the slats isn't necessary because, since the slats are on their sides, the weight capacity goes up 5 times. The slats do bend slightly to absorb the weight, but your mattress will feel brand new sitting on a Quagga bed!

Assembling furniture can be both frustrating and a chore for many people. Why not make it fun? That’s our goal at Quagga: to make furniture assembly something you can look forward to.
Dissatisfied with the lack of quality many furniture companies have, we wanted to “bring back quality from extinction.” The name “Quagga” is reflective of our brand and the products: unique and fun. A “Quagga” is actually an extinct subspecies of the common zebra.
Do you sell products for wholesale?
No, we do not sell our products for wholesale. Check out the shop or home page to buy online!
Will the mattress slide around on the bed frame?
Nope! The slats on most of our bed frames are turned side ways which creates friction between the mattress and the bed’s slats.
How much storage space is beneath the beds?
Tic-Tac-Toe®: 10 in.
Flex®: 10 in.
No Fuss Plus®: 6 in.
Rustic: 10 in.
What is the best way for me to transport the beds?
Once disassembled, the base and slats can be strapped and stacked onto each other for easy transport.
Do I need a box spring?
No, however if you would like to add one feel free!
How much weight can each bed frame hold?
Each bed can hold between 505lbs - 685lbs.
How heavy are your beds?
The average weight of our beds is 40kg (around 90 pounds).
What kind of stain do you use on the furniture?
We do not use any stain, however we apply linseed oil to the surface of our products. Linseed oil is environmentally friendly and brings out the natural beauty of the wood grain. It also deeply nourishes the wood while providing providing protection that is waterproof and abrasion resistant.
Where do you harvest the trees for your furniture?
The trees come from Quebec.
Should I worry about any off-gassing?
Our linseed oil finish is environmentally friendly and has no off-gassing.
How far apart are the slats?
No Fuss Plus®: 2.75"
Flex®: 2.75"
Tic Tac Toe®: 5" x 7"
Rustic: 2.75"
What are your products made from?
All our products come from Quebec and are made of birch plywood. We make our furniture out of birch because it is strong and stable.
How long do the bed frames take to assemble?
It varies from bed frame to bed frame, but they generally take under 10 minutes to assemble!
Can I stain or paint my bed frame?
You can stain or paint the Tic Tac Toe, No Fuss Plus, or Flex, but not the Rustic since we have already stained it for you. We use linseed oil on all of our bed frames (except for the Rustic) which you can paint over. We recommend using an oil based primer before you paint it because it sticks better than a latex primer.
What size does each bed frame come in?
Tic Tac Toe®: Double, Queen & King
Flex®: Queen & King
No Fuss Plus®: Single to Double & Queen to King
Rustic: Queen & King
Can I customize my Quagga bed frame?
You can customize the bed frames that come in the natural birch color (the Tic Tac Toe, No Fuss Plus, or Flex beds) as we only apply two layers of linseed oil. However, the Rustic is a bit more difficult because the linseed oil that we apply has pigment in it, so we wouldn't necessarily recommend customizing the Rustic bed frame.
Can the Headboard be used with any bed frame?
The Headboard was designed with the Rustic in mind, but yes, it can be used for any one of the other bed frames we sell! Just slide it between the mattress and the wall like you would with the Rustic. Just keep in mind, the mattress will slightly hang over the edge on the foot of the bed frame.
What do I do if my bed starts squeaking?
Overtime, this may happen but is unlikely. If it does, there's nothing to worry about because there is a simple solution to this (don't worry, it does not require you to buy an entirely new bed frame). You can use paste wax which you can find at your local hardware store. The cheapest you can buy is around $10 so it's very feasible. You can use this wax wherever it is squeaking, for example, in between the leg and a slat. It's best to look for non-toxic paste wax or you can even make your own at home with a combination of waxes.
Which mattresses are compatible with your bed frames?
Great question! Lots of mattress companies suggest specific characteristics to be met when pairing your mattress with a bed frame. Since our bed frames are unique, some of them won't meet those characteristics, but don't worry! We have tested them with a wide variety of mattresses including latex and soft ones like memory foam. So even though some of our bed frames won't exactly match with what mattress companies suggest when purchasing a bed frame, rest assured your Quagga bed frame will have your back.
How thick should my mattress be for the Rustic bed frame?
The distance from the top of the slats to the top of the sideboards of the Rustic is 4.75". We generally recommend 8 inches minimum for the thickness of the mattress, otherwise the sideboards might get in the way.
What kind of adhesives are used in the plywood that makes it non-toxic?
We use adhesives that have zero VOC, is non-flammable, non-toxic, and water-based.
How do your bed frames handle humid environments?
We use CARB (California Air Resources Board) P2 glue, meaning it has one of the most stringent regulation in effect to limit formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products and stands up to humid temperatures quite well. The moisture content of the birch plywood that we use is around 15%.
Do you have a showroom where I can see your products in person?
Unfortunately we don't. Everything is exclusively online.
Do you do custom furniture?
Unfortunately we don't. We only sell what is seen on our website. However, we are always open to hearing about ways we can improve our products! Let us know by contacting us.
We would love to see you assemble it! Feel free to take a time-lapse of yourself assembling your Quagga bed frame or document the process by tagging @quagga.designs on Instagram or your preferred social media platform.

What do I do if my bed starts squeaking?
Overtime, this may happen but is unlikely. If it does, there's nothing to worry about because there is a simple solution to this (don't worry, it does not require you to buy an entirely new bed frame). You can use paste wax which you can find at your local hardware store. The cheapest you can buy is around $10 so it's very feasible. You can use this wax wherever it is squeaking, for example, in between the leg and a slat. It's best to look for non-toxic paste wax or you can even make your own at home with a combination of waxes.
Which mattresses are compatible with your bed frames?
Great question! Lots of mattress companies suggest specific characteristics to be met when pairing your mattress with a bed frame. Since our bed frames are unique, some of them won't meet those characteristics, but don't worry! We have tested them with a wide variety of mattresses including latex and soft ones like memory foam. So even though some of our bed frames won't exactly match with what mattress companies suggest when purchasing a bed frame, rest assured your Quagga bed frame will have your back.
How thick should my mattress be for the Rustic bed frame?
The distance from the top of the slats to the top of the sideboards of the Rustic is 4.75". We generally recommend 8 inches minimum for the thickness of the mattress, otherwise the sideboards might get in the way.
What kind of adhesives are used in the plywood that makes it non-toxic?
We use adhesives that have zero VOC, is non-flammable, non-toxic, and water-based.
How do your bed frames handle humid environments?
We use CARB (California Air Resources Board) P2 glue, meaning it has one of the most stringent regulation in effect to limit formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products and stands up to humid temperatures quite well. The moisture content of the birch plywood that we use is around 15%.
Do you have a showroom where I can see your products in person?
Unfortunately we don't. Everything is exclusively online.

Help! I can't track my package!
After you receive your confirmation email and once your package has officially shipped and left the warehouse, you will receive an email notifying you that your package has shipped where you will be able to track your package.
I have received a Shipping notification email but still am not able to track my package. What do I do?
If for whatever reason you cannot track your package despite receiving a tracking number, simply Google "track (insert tracking number)" and a link will appear where you can track your package. If that does not work, feel free to contact us and we will see what we can do!

No, we do not ship orders to PO Boxes.
Do you charge for shipping?

Why don't you sell to Canadian territories?

Do you sell internationally?
At the moment, unfortunately we do not. We are planning on selling in the United States soon (sometime in 2022) and expanding from there!
Help! My package didn't arrive!
Relax! We'll do our best to sort this out.
If this happens, the first thing to do is check your tracking number and see where your package is at. It may be on the way but just hasn't arrived yet.
Another thing that may have happened is your carrier (usually FedEx) attempted to deliver your package three times and you were not home. As a result, it is being held at a FedEx facility. Call FedEx at 1-800-463-3339 to see what is going on and see if you can pick it up at a nearby FedEx facility.

I have pieces that are damaged. What do I do?
If you have minor scruffs/dents/scratches, use a little bit of linseed oil which can be found at your local hardware store. We use this oil on all of our bed frames.

Where does the name “Quagga Designs” come from?
We stumbled upon the “Quagga” (an extinct Zebra) many years ago and just loved the name. We find that many furniture companies do not value quality for customers. Quagga Designs aims to “bring back quality from extinction,” by providing high quality furniture for a reasonable price. Learn more about the company and the founders here!
How can I keep up to date with Quagga Designs?
Follow us on social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube). You can also join our email list on the home page to be notified when we are doing sales and for restocks!
