I previously had this over the top, California King, heavily carved wooden 4 poster bed frame. It was taking over my whole room and was very dated. I wanted to go in the opposite direction and get something without a headboard and all of that. I can not BELIEVE how much less room my bed takes up from my room just by changing out the frame!!! My headboard no longer blocks the window so it's brighter, the bed is higher, it's more open....I love it! Also, literally out of the box you just open it and unfold it. It couldn't be easier. I had been putting off getting a new bed frame because I thought it would be so expensive but this was crazy cheap and has drastically improved our bedroom in so many ways. I highly highly recommend this frame! The ONLY thing that annoyed me was that I had to pay a fee for ...something about mattress removal or something that didn't apply to me. I was ONLY buying the frame, not a mattress or box spring. No help from customer service. =(
