The quality of this bed is an accurate reflection of the price. It looks nice. We are going to put block supports behind the headboard so that it does not wobble when you lean back against it. We have a 5 inch boxspring and an 13 inch mattress.  There is a small gap (3 inches) between the top of the mattress and the base of the upholstered headboard.  Not a problem in our case but shorter boxspring mattress combinations will result in a larger gap.
