This bed is much taller than it appears in the photos. Yes the dimensions are provided and that’s my fault for not double checking what that would really look like, but it is ridiculously tall. We have a 12” mattress and our bed is now reminiscent of those super tall dorm beds. We happen to be very tall people so it’s more an annoyance than anything else. So, pay close attention to the measurements. I did not and now it’s too much effort to try to disassemble and return a cal king bed. This was also difficult to assemble. The instructions could be better labeled and some of the holes lined up horribly and I really struggled to get it out together. It does appear to be sturdy; I haven’t noticed any squeaking/shakiness.
