Beautiful bed!! Perfect size and the color complemented our room. We ordered a King size and used an adjustable power base platform with the purple 3 mattress. Height is perfect for us. Not too high and not too low. The adjustable power base fits perfectly into the bed with very little wiggle room. Wooden slacks were not needed. Our only issue was the footboard arrived with a decent size stain on it. We immediately filed a claim with pictures for a replacement part and they mailed it right away! You will not regret this purchase. GORGEOUS BED!!
