I absolutely love this bed!! It’s built really well. I’ve had two Wayfair beds in the past break on me, this one is really sturdy !!!! It did come with a few stains but came out pretty easy with some soap and water. The bed is super low, we have an 11 inch mattress and if we didn’t use our box springs our pillows would fall through the gap, it would be too uncomfortable. We have 9inch box springs I would recommend 7 inch to really show off headboard, but 100 box spring recommended! Definitely need a drill to put this bed together to really reinforce it, the tool they give too wouldn’t get tight enough. 1010 recommend this bed!
