This is a very nice looking metal bed with great detail on the headboard and footboard. I was happy to find brown, as most that are out there are either black or white. I placed the mattress on the lower setting with no boxspring. As you can see in the pictures, this is quite low. I will leave it that way, however, because I already have to lay my pillows flat rather than propping them up or the entire headboard would be covered. I was able to assemble it by myself without too much difficulty. One piece of advice I would give is when you are lining up holes and inserting screws on either end of a piece, dont tighten everything until both ends are in place. It makes lining the holes up much easier. Ive been sleeping on the bed for about two months now, and so far it has proven to be very sturdy with no squeaks at all. Very happy with this purchase!
