The bed is a lot lower than I expected. We had to personally get a 14” inch bed for it to be a lot higher. Overall it is a great bed HOWEVER, the smell to this bed is HORRIBLE! Almost makes me want to return it. I’ve used fabric sprays multiple times.. I have had to re wash our pillow cases numerous times.. this is now a headache and every time I sleep I can smell the awful smell the bed frame gives off!!!!! I am hoping for the smell to go away soon! Definitely not worth over 1000!
