WARNING: Pretty bed, but CANNOT use boxspring with this frame
The layout/dimensions on this bed are a bit strange. It's pretty and sturdy and has the farmhouse look we were going for. However, the way the legs are set up, it's a decent way off the ground (nice if you want to store stuff under the bed, for sure). But then the space between the top of the headboard and the rungs going across to hold the mattress isn't that much. If we put our boxspring AND mattress on, it covers the ENTIRE headboard except an inch or two (not normal). So because we needed to use this bed, we ended up having to just get rid of our boxspring and hope the mattress holds up fine just lying on the frame. But you absolutely cannot have a mattress and boxspring on this frame. It makes the bed way too high (I'd need a step-stool to get up) and it totally covers the headboard. Just some weird designing IMO. We're making it work - but others should know this before purchasing.
