The headboard is beautiful and well built, however this headboard is not designed to be JUST a head board only. My husband tried to attach this headboard to our frame for 3 hours because it did not line up. He finally realized the screw holes he was trying to screw into where the screw holes for the bedframe (that we did not purchase). When my husband finally found a way to attach the headboard to the frame securely and all was said and done, we stepped back to observe the beauty and was so distracted by the exposed metal and screws that was near the frame and headboard attachments (this is where the bedframe is suppose to attach). This headboard was built FOR a bedframe to be attached with it. Without the bedframe the furniture looks incomplete and tacky. I returned it and purchased a cheaper full bed with headboard and frame included.
