One of the reasons why I purchased this bed was the measurements posted in the description. It was of the utmost importance that I had a certain height off the ground for under bed storage space. Unfortunately, that measurement was off SIGNIFICANTLY and I was very disappointed. I lost multiple inches and had to invest in a whole new storage method for winter clothing and luggage. It was also a few hour ordeal to get everything put together, quite difficult. Would not recommend putting it together by yourself. Only positive thing I have to say is it looks decent.
