It says you need a box spring, which is fine but I wish I would have paid closer attention to the dimensions because I have a 9” box spring and this is already a tall bed frame. So my box spring  my mattress make my bed seriously tall. But otherwise, it’s pretty cute and easy to put together. Also the little things at the bottom are flaps, I thought it would be solid so my cat couldn’t go underneath but I was mistaken. It’s okay for the price.
