I would not recommend this bed to anyone. I think this bedframe is defected; it is at least 3 inches larger than standard queen mattress. Once mattress is installed there are gaps everywhere between the frame and the mattress including sides and the corners, which look very strange. Also, my mattress is 13 inches high and when I placed it on the bed frame the headboard looked ridiculously low. I think they recommend mattress size of 8 inches which is not very realistic in today's environment. I recently shopped for mattresses in many different stores and I can say that average size of the mattress is around 12 inches. I think the only positive feature about this bed is the stylish natural color wood legs.
