I really love the way this bed frame looks in my daughters room. My only complaint is that I purchased the queen size frame, but the box spring and mattress don't fit within the bed frame walls, it sits on top of the sides of the frame. I do love the design, and the fact that I have room under the bed. It seems sturdy and the color is just like the picture. I purchased a 1/2 size box spring (I believe it's 5"), and a queen mattress (no pillow top) for this bed frame. From the floor to the top of the foot board it is 14", from the floor to the top of my mattress (using a 5" size box spring) is 28 1/2" tall, there is 8" of under bed space from the floor to the bottom of the frame.
