This bed was disappointing.  It is not solid wood as listed and it does not need a box spring.  I purchased a box spring and now the bed is too high only leaving a few inches of the headboard visible.  A bunkie board would work much better.  The bed came with little instructions for assembly.  The website has additional instructions for installation that help but only got lucky in finding them since doesn't tell you that anywhere.  Bed scratches easily.  Would return if not for the difficulty of disassembling and cost to return.  :(
