Absolutely love this frame. We needed a frame and a standard metal from wasn’t much less than this bed frame. This made out bed look elegant. Our headboard is able to attach. We just needed to drill hold in our headboard because it was previously part of a different frame. I’m disabled and was able to put this together easily. I’m also obese and this feels very sturdy. It’s the perfect height for me. My last frame required me to practically jump into it. This allows me to slide right in and getting out is easy. I have a hybrid mattress which is about 10-12 inches. You do need box spring with it but that’s what we have and we were able to put them in this frame and there was instant elegance.
