This is a nice bed and has very durable hardware and wood pieces. We are using with a 14” foam mattress. A thinner mattress will show more of the nice design on the headboard. Need 2 people to set up as the wood pieces are heavy. The pieces need to line up properly to get the screws in place properly. Sideboards must be attached to footboard and headboard at once and really can’t lean on the floor while connecting a corner at a time . Instructions are not perfect. Don’t forget the washers when putting together the side boards to the footboard, that wasn’t straightforward in the instructions. The bed was a little redderbrighter in color than pictured. Good value.
