I thought the drawers were a little smaller and that the frame wasnt so tall. Without a boxspring, perfect height - it comes up to my hip and Im 56. With a box spring youll need a step stool or a running leap to get into it - it came up to the top of my waist. With a mattress/boxspring its about 4 1/2 off the ground. The storage space is great. For my husband and I, we dont need a dresser anymore which is a life saver since our new apartment has a really tiny bedroom. The drawers (for reference width size) can fit 2 folded T shirts next to each other with a lot of extra room around them (There isnt enough room to fit 3) or 2 pairs of pants folded in half once next to each other length wise. The drawers are deep and can hold a good amount of clothing but if its heavy the bottom part might fall a bit. The drawers arent made from the strongest material but for the price and storage Im not disappointed at all. I really love this piece of furniture, but if you plan on using a box spring get the 6 drawer size. Its also pretty easy to put together. My husband and I did it in about half a day.
*Weve had this frame for a year now and it still is awesome, I still love it and nothing has broken
**Edit: December 2014 - after 5 years it became a bit woobly. The bottoms of the drawers are made of a cheap cardboard that do not hold the weight of heavy clothing (winter clothing, multiple pairs of jeans, military BUDs). It feels like it was made from a cheaper wood. Weve since bought a new frame from for less money made from better, stronger material. If you cant fit a dresser in your room or just like extra drawer space this bed lasted pretty well for the past 5 years. I really cant complain about it, I would recommend this bed as long as you arent planning on using it forever or only as a guest room bed.
Its very tall if you use a box spring
