I was looking for an upholstered bed that had a high headboard that wouldn't be covered up if used with a boxspring. I also didn't want a flimsy headboard with a gap between its bottom and the top of the bed, and I didn't want the "nailhead" treatments a lot of similar beds have.

Doesn't sound like a complicated set of demands, does it? Well I searched high and low, and this is literally the only bed that fit the bill - thankfully, I really like everything else about it!

The bed is awesome in every other way - perfect height, sturdy, and the grey looks awesome. Assembly took ~30 minutes and was really straightforward. All in all very happy with the purchase.

Pros: Sturdy, easy to assemble
