After reviewing all my choices on Wayfair I chose this lovely metal headboard and frame that does NOT require a box spring!  Very much satisfied with my selection and purchase (opted for black). The headboard is well made, sturdy, and with our new hybrid mattress from Wayfair it is the perfect height. Beautiful focal point in our redecorated guest bedroom. It is manageable to put together.  Did not find it as easy to assemble as described on the other reviews, but not that difficult.  Obviously still gave it 5 stars.
