This bed is quite low to the ground if you don't use a very tall (12+) mattress or both mattress and box spring. But I personally really like its look. I managed to put this frame together by myself in about 50 minutes using the tools provided and some elbow grease. Getting the slats in was kind of difficult, but doable - not sure if I'll be able to take that section apart ever again though.

The only aspect lacking in quality is that one of the inner metal support beams was pretty rusted out upon arrival. I did not realize the extent of this until putting in the slats above the rusted beam. I did not want to go through the trouble of attempting to disassemble bed and not having a bed frame, so I did not contact customer service for a replacement at the time. But it has been apprx. 3 months now and the bed is holding up splendidly.
