I love this bed. It is exactly as advertised. The only thing I would say is building it is possible for one person to do, but much easier with 2 people. Also, there is a couple inches of space on both sides of the bed between the mattress and the frame. And a mattress and box spring brings the mattress over the frame at the foot of the bed. And the space between the floor and the bottom of the bed is 6 inches max!
