I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new bed!!!!! My son assembled it for me. It’s nice and sturdy. It isn’t ‘flimsy’ which is great coz I’m NOT a skinny minny lol!! The mattress you see here is a 14”. I originally ordered a 7” foundation and was like OOPS! too tall so opted to send it back and get a .75” wood slatted bunkie-board instead. Dunno bout you, but didn’t want my mattress set WAY above the footboard. This is a queen. My mattress fits snugly so I will say that a thick comforter as mine is a bit more challenging but I don’t care coz I love it!! Look at that nice high headboard!! Just what I wanted...... thanks Wayfair!
