If you choose this bed because you like the design STOP!!! Think again because the headboard is barely visible by the time you put a comforter and 1 (one ) regular pillow on the bed. (My mattress is medium thickness at 14 inches and I dont have a box spring)) There are two options to raise the bed but not the headboard so you wont be seeing this headboard when the bed is made. I called the manufacturer and they said sorry no help here. I will go to a pipe fitter and try to get an extension made with the proper holes drilled but headboard may then be less stable. And of course that means I have to dis assemble it and reassemble after. Wish I had chosen a different design.
Headboard toooo low to be seen
