My 17-year-old sleigh bed with the metal/wood frame fell apart. I had the bed propped up on a stool. I couldn't live like this with nails sticking out from underneath the bed. This metal frame is light but sturdy. I was able to attach the headboard, footboard, and side rails. Ultimately we decided to just use the headboard. Since this frame is 14 inches off the floor, and my mattress is 1s 16 inches thick we decided to not use the 14-inch box spring. We lost a few inches of height, but we don't mind. I highly recommend this bed frame. Please excuse the messy bedroom, it's not how it normally looks. This was the picture I sent my wife after I took the old bed apart, assembled the new frame, and attached the headboard to see if she liked it.
