After looking at a LOT of different bedroom sets, I decided on this one, and am absolutely happy I did!!! The design, the feel, and everything is great on this set. The ONE, and ONLY ISSUE I had with it, is it said that it can be used with or without a box spring. First off, you must have a box spring for the mattress to be higher than the lowest part of the leather in the headboard (unless you have a 15" mattress). Secondly, they give you 3 little cross-boards to place and screw into the frame to hold your mattress or box spring up - however, those 3 little cross-boards are terrible! I went to home depot and bought 5 wider pieces of wood and had new legs cut to accommodate the need for the additional weight of my mattress and box spring. It cost me an extra $XX, but well worth the money! Now I only have a memory mattress (no box spring) and the mattress works out great. A little low to the ground for a 6'+ guy like myself, but less distance to fall. :)
Definitely happy with my purchase, and would recommend to anyone I could.
