This bed is so beautiful! The one thing to keep in mind is the mattress I have is a pillow top, and although I didn't use a box spring, not much of the farm shows above it. After looking at the photo again I realize this is normal, but once I put a comforter on only about 6 inches shows. Not a negative, just something to know. I don't use the trundle for a mattress but its been great for under bed storage.
