I will say that this is a very sturdy frame and it was not that hard to put together but I had no idea it would be so high. Thats on me. The new mattresses are so deep, it has me in the nosebleed section. A 12 mattress + a 14 frame has us at 26, very hard to climb into at our age. I could manage that with a step stool but when we went to attach the headboard, it was off by 1 1/4. I bought extenders and that did not fall in the right place either. We tried everything we knew to do and even if the holes did match up, the nuts on the frame would not allow the headboard to be flush against the frame anyway. I am so disappointed and I am ditching everything and going to buy a bed, all put together. As I said, this is more on me than the manufacturer but I wanted to tell others in case they had the same ideas I did. Oh, and finding a comforter/bedspread/quilt? Not at that height. Easy to set up.
My bad
