I purchased this bed, not really knowing if a panel bed was something I would like, thought it would be too low to the groung, but its not! I love this bed! Its beautiful and not low to the ground at all. It was easy for my husband to assemble, though all the parts did come in a seperate bag, they were just all over the box. It fits our room perfectly and I would definatly purchase and recommend this bed to anyone looking for a new one!
