I wanted a sturdy bed frame for my new mattress. There were plenty to choose from but what I liked most about this is that it sits higher at 14" above the floor than most which are down at only 10" off the floor. The extra height makes getting in and out of bed easier and there is plenty of space for storage underneath. The assembly went effortlessly. Everything aligned exactly as it should have. The ability to attach a headboard is also a nice bonus.
