After reading through many reviews I went ahead and purchased the bed. The color is beautiful and the material is really nice as well. The only negative thing I have to say about this bed is the instructions were not so great but that problem didnt affect the five stars I rated it. I wouldnt recommend building this bed alone. 
Also, do follow the measurements for mattress and box spring. The box spring I had wasnt 5 inches but I am ordering one soon, that is why you can see the space between the mattress and headboard! You do not need to be spending over 1,000 on a bed, the price of the bed and quality of this item can not be passed!
