NOTE:  The pictures do NOT represent the actual bed!   I'm pretty certain that when I put this bed in my cart it listed the height as 65 inches, which is consistent with the photographs.   The bed is actually only 50 inches at the sides and nearly 53 inches in the center.  It's no taller than our beside lamps.   While the bed is nice enough, it's very disappointing that it does NOT look like the pictures.    In all fairness, the site now says the bed is 53 inches.    Just don't expect it look like the images.
