I love this headboard/footboard.  The dimensions are as follows-headboard 63", footboard 26", floor to top of mattress 36".  I am only 5'1" tall so I need a step stool to get into the bed.  I believe the dimensions are incorrect on this website.  I've tried with and without the box spring and can't decide which way to go.

Don't pay for assembly though-all you have to do is connect the headboard and footboard to the side rails.  Very easy.  I have now ordered the nightstand and dresser to go with this, I hope the quality is the same.
