Love it so far but I just put it together. Took a bunch of photos to help others. Definitely higher than I thought. Took some close up of the slats to show why. Also no box spring. My old bed is a low platform but I don’t think this new height will be an issue just an adjustment. I actually put it together by myself so it is possible but not recommended. I had trouble with one corner not properly drilled but manageable. Instructions were decent. Enjoy.
