As a bed it is low to the ground, no storage room whatsoever. I definitely thought it would be a little higher, however I am not disappointed. I was nervous because so many people said they got damaged pieces but I saw those comments were old so I guess they worked it out because mine arrived in perfect shape. Putting it together was annoying. The instructions are not simplified but it was easy enough to follow. However the leg wholes didn’t not watch up. That’s took the most time putting together. Otherwise it went smoothly.  I might have tried finding the same bed a little higher up from the ground but I do love everything else about this bed. It’s is really sturdy, there is no chance of Losing your pillow between the headboard and mattress and the headboard itself is soft to put your head against. Assembly frustration is the only reason it is losing a star really.
