It is a gorgeous bed! I could not be happier. I shopped around for quite some time looking for this style and this is the best out there. I could not find something with this style without being at least double the price. This bed is worth every penny and is made very well! The assembly was very easy! I love that I do not need a box spring with this bed. I have a 16 inch mattress and the height is perfect with this bed.
