Love the height! This is the third one of these frames we have bought. We especially love how high they are. The three frames we have are one king, one Calif king, and one queen. Two are 16 high, and one is 18 high. We have been very pleased with all of them.  We use them as places for our dogs to sleep. We have beds underneath, and the bed skirts make for a very comfortable dog sleeping room. We will probably use the space under the beds  for storage in the two guest rooms, but since our some guests have dogs, we will have to leave room for them, and all storage containers chew-proof.
