The bed is what I expected, but I wish it was more heavy. I got rid of my queen sized brass and enamel bed which was an antique and I guess I got used to a more substantial feel for a bed. It is nice to be able to move this bed without help. This is a standard/full size bed, it is also a "platform" type but my mattress is 12 inches high but it moves around on the frame and that is not good.  I wish they made the frames with a "lip" so that the mattress would be anchored in place and stay still. The bed is pretty and is good for me at this time in my life.
