Does it fit a standard king mattress?

Yes. It is built for a standard king mattress, so any regular king-size mattress will fit the frame.

Do I need a box spring?

It depends on the slat or support system the frame ships with. Check whether slats are included; if not, plan on a box spring or a bunky board.

Metal beds can squeak when bolts work loose. Tighten the hardware after assembly and recheck it after the first few weeks of use.

No. It is a metal rail design without padding, so add pillows or a separate headboard cushion if you read in bed.

It is lighter, easier to move and less bulky, but it gives up the soft headboard and the warmer look of fabric.

The rails are oiled bronze, a dark brown metal finish that reads warmer than black and hides minor marks.
