I cannot rave enough about this bed.  Pictured is a Queen bed, with a mattress foundation and Tuft and Needle mattress on top.  This combination gives the bed the perfect height in relation to the head/footboards.  The tones of the fabric and antiqued paint are flexible and go with just about everything.  The ivory paint is antiqued just enough- not too "shabby chic" or overdone.  There isn't a whole lot of room between the mattress and the footboard- I have to shift the mattress up and down when I make the bed, but it isn't an issue.  I think if I had a thicker comforter it would look frumpy though, so I'm glad I just use a quilt.  I initially had some issues with delivery but J&M sorted it very professionally and I am looking forward to doing business with them again!
