The bed is absolutely stunning. It looks just like it doesn’t in the picture. I purchased this bed for my 10 year old daughter and she loves it too. Upon receiving the package, when I opened it it looked like a ton of pieces to put together but assembly was actually easy and took me and my husband about 45 minutes. The package itself was pretty beat up, but the bed was in perfect condition. It does sit pretty low to the ground but this bed frame can be used with or without a box spring, we do not have a box spring but the headboard isn’t able to be raised or lowered to accommodate the mattress which is a wonderful option. We will end up purchasing a box spring in the future for it. The frame is definitely worth the low price. The quality of the frame is very sturdy, much sturdier than my 600 bed frame from art van. Shipping only took a week and a half.
