I have been looking for a headboard that didn’t require baseboards because I hate to hit my shins. The headboard attached to a basic metal frame. The base didn’t hit the floor but I am blaming that on using a metal frame. Material looks great. I ordered samples before ordering to make sure the color was what I wanted. 
I recommend using with a standard box spring as the picture shown is with low profile box spring and I think it would be better once I get standard box spring. 
I recommend this product and so far so good.
