Love this bed! Was the cheapest one that I looked at on Wayfair, but it had good reviews so I went ahead and ordered it. My husband put it together by himself in about a half hour and was very surprised at how sturdy it was. I was thrilled when I saw it, it really is even better looking in person. We have a 12" mattress on it, and you can still see a good amount of the headboard. Seriously, get this bed you won't regret it!
