Such a nice frame. I love it. I used a box spring with the headboard on the higher pegs and it is perfect. The headboard is really nice and the bed is very sturdy. Easy to assemble. I used a regular screw driver to assemble everything. It says to use a power drill which would save you about 5 mins but the screws were easy to screw in without one. I highly recommend this frame. A great value for the price. Buy it. :)
