Update- base is by 17 stories. Works well with headboard but had to be attached with zip ties. Works well together.
First off this review will be updated when the base frame arrives. My first concern given I ordered this in king was it might, because of the width, be flimsy. Not so. Even though the headboard is light weight (easy to carry) it is completely rigid. Assembled in a couple of minutes with the included hardware. There are holes in the leg to bolt it to a frame. The frame I have ordered to go with this is 14 inches high. Though the instructions reference a footboard this product is the HEADBOARD ONLY. The bed will sit centered between 2 large windows and this will partly extend over the windows which is why I did not want something solid. It’s being used in a 1930s home with original dark wood trim. I think this style complements the home. I believe it’s a good value for price.
