The bed frame is very low, much lower than a standard bed frame. I opted to follow instructions so I didn’t get a box spring… I’m second guessing that decision. The look of the bed frame is not quite what I expected. Possibly having something to do with how the panels line up. The smell is another factor. I’ve had it for a week now and sprayed it several times, it still has an odd smell. 
I’m adding this for all the people who read reviews but now the fine print, lol. The bed frame will come in 2 separate deliveries, one for the headboard and the other for the rest. I paid for it to be assembled as well and I’m glad that I did.
