Ok so I assembled everything and then realized that it looked too bulky for my small room. I was wondering if I should return it - not because there was anything wrong with the bed - but because it just didnt look right. But then I decided to flip the legs around and see if that will work, and it did! The legs are what holds the four panels together so obviously, its important that they are screwed on properly and I was pleased to find that they work just as well upside down! The legs do poke out as you can see in the second picture, which is kind of funny-looking, but I dont mind it very much and because I have a 12-inch mattress the mattress covers well above the legs. I am so glad that i was able to find a hack that worked for me! When the legs are flipped upside-down likeeee this, its closer to the height of a sofa, which is exactly what I wanted so overall, I am very happy!
Short option for smaller rooms
