I rated this frame 5 stars because a similar bed at pottery barn (but has slats) is 3k. Weve been using this frame for a month now.
This bed came packed all in the head board. Be careful not to open the zipper and pick up the head board because everything will fly out (oops). You definitely need a box spring because theres only 4 cross bars. I think thats kind of standard now days. The description suggest 16 inch matress box spring, but I think aim for 18 if you dont want a gap. Otherwise 16 is fine. I ordered a 4 inch box spring and a 12 inch bed. The space from floor to bottom of frame is a little less than 3 inches which isnt mentioned in the description. Our bed came with a little damage spot on the bottom board but glue fixed it. We let it air out for 3 days because it had a fishy smell but we do not smell it anymore. We hit our toes on the middle post a few times so I bought 3M bumper sticker and now no more stubbed toes.
This bed is adorable and you will see the headboard even when you have pillows stacked up. I searched all over the internet and found the same style bed on wayfair for a few bucks more. But I trust a lot so I committed. My boyfriend set up the bed by himself, all I did was hold the head board for a minute. Its not perfect but its the best bang for your buck.
Affordable and adorable
