I love my new bed. I’d prefer 4.5 stars for a silly aesthetic reason. The only reason I gave it a slightly less than perfect score is because the photos regarding headboard height are somewhat deceiving. I have a 12 inch Casper mattress on it and standard sized pillows sitting upright basically cover the headboard. The assembly is very easy! I did it on my own in maybe 15-30 minutes. The packaging box is heavy but the pieces are inside are easily separated to be carried  also...my cats love being underneath it )
