LOVE this bed frame. It's quite large and takes up a good amount of space so I would encourage that buyers measure the space they are working with to ensure that this frame will fit. Consider door openings, and walking space. I have about a 12" mattress and regular height box spring, and it doesn't sit that height at all which is something I was worried about. The frame comes with wood panels that you nail into the frame for box spring/mattress support. I skipped this option, and kept my basic metal frame which fit just fine inside the frame w/o issues or modification. The linen fabric is nice. Not the softest, but that isn't really a dealbreaker.
