DO NOT GET THIS BED!! It look awful where the head board is not the same down to the floor plus there is space all around between the mattress and bed frame. You absolutely cannot use a regular box spring unless you want to lay in the sky and cover 80% of the headboard. Also I wanted a soft comfy one to lay back and read on-that is not this at all. The headboard is not sturdy or strong at all. It is all put together now unfortunately but will likely make it a weekend project to take apart and send back. Not at all worth this money!
