Has plenty of room for 5 storage boxes, a large suitcase and the dogs bed!
We needed a frame that provided ample storage space since our old bed barely had room for a 6 high storage box. I wanted to store several boxes and our large, 10 deep suitcase so when I say this frame with a clearance of 12, I was sold. It also has room for our dog and his bed! (He also likes to sleep on the bed as seen in the photo.) I did not want metal bars to hold the mattress and this has wooden slats that are very well spaced and another great feature was that there is NOT a leg in the middle of the long side of the frame to hit your toes on as many of the negative reviews of other bed frames will tell you. All the support legs are in the middle and after over a month, there have been no rattles or movement of the mattress. We did not use the sticky tape that comes on three of the slats since we have our mattress in a removable cover and did not want to make it difficult to remove. The mattress has stayed in place without them. My only beef is the fact that the top bar of the frame to which you can attach a headboard was a tubular shape instead of being flat. This made it necessary to buy longer bolts to attach the headboard. Not a big deal, but I am glad there was an Ace Hardware store nearby that was open so we didnt have to sleep on the floor the first night. Four bolts cost me $1.50. Otherwise, assembly was fairly straightforward and completed in about an hour and half.
