First, I love the color. Its brown but has no red mahogany tint/color. Second, the height is comparable to my box spring/rails set up. Im pretty happy. Its a good value for the money spent. Most furniture store beds are too bulky for my taste.
However, my husband is built like a linebacker. I saw in one review that the middle of the bed cracked on the seam lines, and I after it was assembled immediately saw why. Although the middle lengthwise brace has a center peg, the sides of the bed do not. So I went to the hardware store and for 25 I made two 10 1/2 inch legs for each side and used corner braces to secure them. (See pic) I will paint them brownish black like the original feet. Things like this do not bother me. It is something to consider, however, if adjustments bother you.
