We purchased this bed and so far so good. Had to wait to get it put together. The frame seems very sturdy and well made. I like the rustic wood head board and foot board and modern look of black metal base. Wood tones are very true to the picture. 10" mattress fits perfectly to meet head board. I would not use a mattress any higher than that because it will cover up the head board. Very satisfied with purchase. It also came quicker than date given which is really impressive with the way deliveries have been lately. I will add a picture later. We hv this bed in a room with all white walls which makes the head board and foot board noticeable which is what we wanted. As we add the bedding that we want we will try not to cover or take away from this rustic/ modern bed. Hvnt used under bed space yet but it also has this as is indicated in description of bed.
