Does this bed need a box spring?

No. The slatted metal platform supports a queen mattress directly, so a box spring is optional.

Will it hold a memory foam mattress?

It can, but the slat gaps are wide enough that a rigid bunkie board is a good idea to protect foam.

A standard queen mattress, about 60 by 80 inches, sits on the roughly 59 by 79.5 inch frame.

No. It is a bare platform frame, so any headboard has to be bought separately or attached to the wall.

About 14 inches from the floor to the top of the frame, which leaves room for under-bed storage.

Yes, the hardware and basic tools for assembly are included; a screwdriver and a second person help.
