Dimensions were just as described. Very substantial and well-built. I had a hard time putting it together, so my husband did it for me. Looks great with the 11 inch innerspring mattress we bought it for. I love it! As a short person (5'3"), the bed is a perfect height for me, which I was worried about. My husband is taller but he enjoys the more contemporary and low-profile look. The curved slats are flexible with body weight but provide support, and are not as firm as straight slats; take that into consideration if you need firmness. That being said, it is great with a firm mattress, since we did not want our set-up super hard. I would definitely recommend it to others!
