This bed is everything that I wanted! It's low enough so my dog (a 7lb Maltese) can't fit underneath it and the headboard is high enough so that you can still see it behind the mattress and standard 9" boxspring. I bought the beige colored one because the grey looked too dark for what I wanted, but the beige actually turned out to be the light grey color that I was looking for. It's not a brownish/white like I thought beige was supposed to be¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Overall it's a really great and sturdy bed. The only thing that was hard to figure out was which way the feet went on it, but you don't even notice if they're on straight or not since it's so low to the ground.
