I looked at many upholstered beds before deciding on this particular one, partially because I liked the addition of the foot board. Overall I like the look of the bed & it was fairly easy to put together. My only complaint is that the bed itself was listed as if the box spring was not required or needed for this platform style bed which in turn, is false unless you like sleeping close to the floor like a child's toddler bed lol. I had it for about a week until I decided to go out and buy a box spring to go with the new mattress I had purchased. Once adding a box spring it off sets the foot rest which does not compliment proportionally having the additional height which is why I did not give it a full 5 stars. If I would have know this at the time I may have went with another purchase or style.
