Queen Upholstered Bed with Foot End Storage Drawer and Vertical Channel Headboard, Grey

What to measure first

The frame is 84.5 inches long with a headboard 60 inches across and 43 inches from the floor. Under it there are 7.5 inches of clearance. The mattress window runs 10 to 12 inches thick, and a mattress in that range keeps the top of the bed at a normal height.

A drawer you can see into

Pulled out, the whole 51 inch width is open at once rather than divided into two narrow boxes. Four inches of depth is shallow, so it suits bedding, sheets and flat clothing laid out rather than anything that has to stack. Wheels under the drawer carry the weight once it is loaded.

Closely spaced slats

Twelve slats across a 60 inch span with middle support legs under them. Closer spacing is what foam mattresses want, since a wide gap lets foam sag between slats over time. The published capacity for this size is 800 lb.

How the grey reads

The manufacturer publishes three photographs of the same fabric under bright, normal and dim light, and the tone shifts noticeably between them. Worth looking at before matching the bed to curtains or a rug you already own, because a north facing bedroom will land nearer the dim light photograph than the bright one.
