I wanted a headboard for my 4 year old boy.  I didn't want to pay too much money as his bed is a twin size & i'm sure in a few years, he will want a full size bed.  My husband put the headboard together fairly quickly.  We already had a frame; however, the frame didn't fit the headboard holes.  I would recommend buying the frame that goes along w/ the bed versus drilling new holes to make current frame work w/ headboard.  They actually offered us a free frame at the time of purchase; however, i declined since we already had one.  All in all - good product.
