I was superrrrr nervous about getting this bed. But did anyway because I loved the velvet texture. This is a queen bed with a 12” mattress and like 45 inch box spring. Perfect height for me because I did now want it close to the floor at all. I know people suggested getting the Hercules bed frame, which I may in the future —but I am going to stick with the wooden slats to start. Took probably 1 12 hours to set up with 2 other people.  Instructions are clear and all parts were given.
