First let me just say, the packaging was the smartest idea ever! Less mess  easy to put together. I even used the space in the headboard to put my sons crib inside  it fit perfectly!!!!! It helps save space a lot because my room doesn’t really have that much space. The height of the bed is good, honestly depends on your mattress. I love XL mattresses but I have a regular full so it’s not too low. There’s a very good amount of space under the bed as well for storage. I’m highly satisfied with this purchase. This is my second bed from Wayfair. My first one I have to my sister.
