The bed, considering the reasonable price we paid for it (it is a king size bed), is a good value. The packing that the manufacturer/shipper used was exceptionally good.There was not even one tiny finish marr anywhere to be found. The pictures of the bed frame are very accurate.The only thing that was a little different than expected was the height of the headboard. I had this expectation in my head that it would be taller. It's not. It's not a serious concern. It just was different.  So I do recommend that you drill down into the specifications and note the "Other Dimensions" and look at "Overall". That gives the height of the headboard.  Use a measure to show you how high the bed will be and also use the "Top of Headboard to Bedframe" to get a basis for how tall your mattress might look against the measurement shown here. Then you'll have no surprises.
