I’m writing this review immediately after assembling this headboard because I’m so in love with it! We have a basic wood frame bed and needed something else to define our bedroom. This headboard is perfect. The blue is amazing. I love the wings on the side. It was easy to assemble, however we did not attach it to the bed or wall. We just shoved the bed against the headboard. I’m sure the manufacturer wouldn’t recommend, but it is sturdy and saved a lot of time. I’d definitely recommend!
