When we looked for a bed we hoped to find a headboard that would fit below the window with plantation shutters (♡) that had high clearance underneath (♡) and blended well with our bedroom furniture (♡).  We also see that this bed was sturdy and easily assembled except for connecting the foot with the side.  My husband disconnected the headboard, and connected the footboard, then reconnected the headboard (in case you run into this problem).  The Queen sized bed doesn't rock and we like having a bed without box springs.
