This was exactly what we needed for our bedroom. The measurement was a bit shorter than advertised, 44in (not 46in). Our mattress is tall and we have a box spring, so it is a bit high but we like a high bed. The shorter headboard worked better for my space, which has a sloped ceiling. I assembled it myself, and it took a little longer than I hoped, extra hands would have expedited the build. It is very sturdy and we are pleased.
