We got this platform bed, for our new king mattress, we searched a long time for one that was an affordable price as well as one that was not so low to the ground.  We wanted it up higher so we could have some storage space underneath.  We have a 12 inch mattress, which does work with it, but a 10 inch would display a little more of the headboard.  That is my only complaint, I wish the headboard itself came up a few more inches higher, because once you get pillows on the headboard is not just really visible, and it is pretty, so would like to be able to see it more. However, it is very well made, it is solid, and it is really easy to assemble. It is perfectly quiet and overall, a very good platform bed, especially for the price.
