This bed headboard was good looking, simple and reasonably priced.   But there was a problem.   It was wider than my standard king bed.   The holes in the frame to attach it to the bed frame were off.   If it were not such a large peice, I would have returned it.   Instead my handyman gerrymandered some brackets and managed to attach the headboard to the bed frame.   The wood also looks flimsier than in the picture.   But once it was put up-- it took him awhile, with the bedding and pillows it will suffice.   The wood will be easier to keep clean over time than one of the upholstered type headboards.   So in the end, it's okay.
