This bed is so Tall you cannot get into it with out a footstool. when we put it together it was missing parts but by that time we were committed to continuing as we had guests arriving that night. The bed is now just a piece of wood taking up room in my guest bedroom until I can find a smaller box spring or different bed. It is pretty useless being so high up our elderly parents cannot get in and out of the bed safely even with footstool. Very disappointed.
