I Decided On A Metal Headboard Because My Master Bedroom Is In Transition And I Have Not Decided Whether To Go With Light Or Dark Wood Furniture. I Really Wanted A Headboard To Help Cover A Large Bare Expanse Of Wall, So I Hit On The Idea Of A Metal Headboard To Give Me The Flexibility To Go Either Way Later. After Shopping Around In Stores And Online, I Found That Both The Selection And The Prices At Wayfair Were Excellent. I Ultimately Chose The Headboard Pictured. When It Arrived, I Was Favorably Impressed With Both Its Appearance And Quality Of Instruction. It Installed Easily To My King Bedframe, Which Is Nearly 30 Years Old. Extremely Pleased, Highly Recommended.
