I should have paid attention to all the reviews saying the headboard didn't Mach up with the bed Frame either the queen headboard or a king. Yes it's beautiful but it's so frustrating TRYING to attach the headboard because yes, it's heavy. So as may others the bed is just pushed up against the headboard and wall. If I hadn't spent so long trying to get it to fit I would send it back. It's very pretty but there must be others which are pretty and fit the frame!!
