I LOVE this bed!!! I got the gray one, and it looks so elegant in my bedroom. I researched this bed a bit, and there were some complaints about the headboard being to short, and the studs not being real. (1) My box spring is 9in and my mattress is 10in. together, it doesn't show a gap at all. Its perfect! (2) the studs ARE real. each and every single one of them are separate, and look amazing. I would definitely recommend this bed to anyone!
