I'm in LOVE with this bedframe! It was easy to put together with my husband and I working on it and included all the tools. It looks amazing in our bedroom! Everyone else who has seen it loves it, too! It is nice and sturdy and quiet! We used a 12" thick mattress along with a low profile box spring and it works perfectly. Looks even better in person, and now I never want to leave my bed, it's just so inviting!
