This bed is absolutely awesome!! Been married long enough that a smaller bed is no longer considered romantic, so it was time to upsize. Truly, the best part of this bed is that you can downsize on some of the other furniture (or clutter, if I am being completely honest) because the storage underneath is unbelievable!! The edges may not give quite as much clearance, due to the framing, etc, but it is still at least 10 there and closer to 12.5 at the places where there are slats (and no support beams). The two boxes are huge and I had to take the parts upstairs one piece at a time. But, my daughter occasionally helped, and it only about 3 hours to put it together. I love this frame and highly recommend the investment of the DreamCloud Premier mattress. (It is also available through but I researched it by independent, unbiased reviews.)
Like a crisp, uncluttered room?!
