Love the height and style of this bed! It is high enough to be seen above pillows and allow a back support when sitting up, but not extremely high - you could still hang art above it. If you don’t like setting up furniture give yourself some extra time to set it up or consider a simpler bed frame because the set up did take a while. I also chose this because of the extra supports it has in the middle of the bed and extra legs on the sides. Although it takes a bit to set it up, to me it is worth having a more supported sturdy bed frame like this one over simpler slat frames that break easily. Also, I ended up buying bed risers because if you are only putting a mattress it is an extremely low profile. Overall very happy with this bed frame.
