beautiful bed, came quicker than anticipated. it's heavy and lots to assemble but sturdy -- definitely a bed you need to commit to keeping long-term. I'm overall happy with it but I do wish there was a reference as to how thick of a box spring and mattress you need for it. I bought a new mattress set where the box spring is 9" and mattress is 11" thick -- and unfortunately you can see 2" of the box spring above the rail but the top of my mattress hits perfectly at the start of the headboard so you don't see the gap. So I would say you will probably need a 6-7" or low profile box spring but a mattress that is between 13-14" thick to make it just right. 

Pros: makes an elegant and modern statement and easy to assemble
Cons: I've only had it for a few days now but there is a smell to it that i hope will dissipate soon.
