I failed to measure my mattress before ordering this bed and it is so thick that it almost covers the lovely headboard. I would also recommend that you measure on the wall how tall the headboard is....I have very tall ceilings and this headboard looks a little short for the space. I will fix it visually with some art work. The color is what I expected and looks great in my room. It has a very nice finish and so far seems very sturdy--there are no squeaky metal noises when tossing and turning. Overall I recommend this bed....the four stars might be a bit unfair since I didn't do my homework by checking measurements.
double check the thickness of your mattress
