I love this bed! I have the black one, king size. It was pretty simple to put together, but of course it took some time. The quality is great, very sturdy, and it comes with a metal frame that is better then the ones you can buy separately. I did not expect this kind of quality, but I'm glad I made the choice to get this bed, especially for such a great price! I have the thin temperpidic mattress from costco on top of the regular mattress so I don't have the problem with the space between mattress and the headboard. It looks very nice and I absolutely love it!
