Love, love, love this bed! It's beautiful and looks exactly like the photo. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the assembly process was brutal. The instructions are not user friendly. It took two hours to put the bed together. With that being said, it came with all the necessary tools needed. I didn't have to run the hardware store for anything.  I put my mattress and box spring on and the height of the headboard is perfect. This bed is definitely worth the money!
