If you are like me, dont get the added footboard bottom base. I like to hang my feet off the bottom of the bed. They do not sell you the footboard by itself so if you dont like kicking the bottom rail when you sleep, order without. However I did manage to cut mine down, drilled new holes and put it back together. Works well enough for me now. This bed has been my primary bed for over a year, and it is still solid as can be.
