This bed is solid and was easy to put together with simple instructions and tools were provided. The top of the headboard had to have some wood glue added in the dowel holes (it was preassembled in the box but could be pulled apart). The height from the floor with a tall (12”) mattress turned out to be perfect without a boxspring, just like the website said. Overall, it’s a great product, solid wood - not particle board, and we would order it again if we needed another bed. Our only negative is that we run a B and B and the bed was a week later arriving than originally stated in our email so a bit disappointed in delivery time. Highly recommend this product.
