I thoroughly read the reviews on this bed before purchasing and am just as pleased as other reviewers. The bed is gorgeous, arrived earlier than expected (even with Covid shipping delays) and was easy to put together. The quality is fantastic and looks beautiful. We used a 9” boxspring and 11” mattress. My favorite part is not having to use a bed skirt! Per one review of bed bugs, I did thoroughly inspect this prior to bringing into my home. All is good and we love it!
