I bought this for our guest bedroom. It is a beautiful bed, especially for the price! I purchased a low profile bed frame, as recommended. The one I purchased was 5 inches and it ended up being too short. I added 2x4 slats under the bed frame to raise it up another 2 inches and I think it looks much better. It may also be that our mattress is not super thick (it is memory foam, so no pillow top). Overall, I love it for the price!
