We downsized from a king to a queen sized bed and knew we could not match the existing furniture in the room so we went with a metal head board.   This was a great idea and we like the Anthem very much.   It was a challenge, however, to attach it to the bed frame.   While we have attached it sufficiently enough to use, we will have to revisit our work at some point because it leans.   We think we may have to drill two new holes to match up with the frame.  Pros: Sturdy and attractiveCons: Holes do not match up with frame
