I got this bed over others because the headboard is higher than others.  If you have a short headboard, by the time you put the comforter, pillows and all, you can’t see it.  A true farmhouse bed and perfect for small spaces where an inch makes a big difference.  It has 2 heights to choose from and I chose the highest so I can store stuff under the bed.  It’s a solid bed too.  Pay attention to the directions when putting together.
