as i needed to bring the bed home to finish it, and gain a bit of space in the shop for working on the dresser and magazine rack, i brought it home and set it up. it sits up a bit higher than we're used to, but that shouldn't be a problem. the only problem that came up, was that the full size mattress and box spring that my brother bought years ago, and gave to us, was a bit smaller than the industry standard. the industry standard for a full size is 55 inches wide, this one only came out to 52 1/2 inches.
