Love this platform bed! The color (dark blue) is beautiful and the assembly took less than an hour with help (2 of us). If you are worried about the height, don't be. I have a 12 in. mattress and I do not feel like I am too close to the ground, and when sitting on the edge of the bed my feet hit the ground perfectly. Personally, I was worried about not being able to see the headboard after putting 62 accent pillows (jk) on the bed, but it is tall enough that you can still see it! Overall, I am very happy with this purchase!
