Whilst I truly love the tufting on this thing, it was a bit deceiving how low the headboard truly sits.  Others that I looked at seemed too tall, but probably not when you add a mattress and all the lovely pillows to follow.  If you just want to barely see the ridge of the upholstery, then this is perfect. But if it's important to see more than just 3-4 inches, pass on this one.
