This frame is exactly what we were looking for.  Beautiful finish and pretty easy to put together.  Getting the end pieces to lock into place was a little tricky but overall couldn't be happier with this piece.  The "floating" aspect of the design looks really nice in the bedroom.  If you have a mattress with a box spring or in our case, the Tempurpedic Ergo Extend base, this will sit quite high in the frame and make the bed really tall.
