I really like the bed, but if you have a box spring even a 6" like i do its high enough that you almost can't see the headboard, so its best used with just a mattress. Theres a lot to like its well made and most of the bolts to put it together are all the same so you don't have to mess around trying to find which one for which, one thing i don't like is it is a little creeky when moving around, i contribute this to it being metal, a small thing but i can't fault the bed too much I've had it for a week now and for the most part its awesome.
