There are many other less expensive upholstered head boards on Wayfair, but I was looking for something that was made with more attention to detail. That "more detail" just happen to be the legs that support the headboard. If you pay close attention to some of the other headboards, you'll notice that you can see "black support" legs from the side. For some, that detail might not matter and that's okay. Unfortunately though, I'm not one of those people. 
A word about the mounting of your headboard. They include two types of mounting brackets: (1) for a wooden base, and (1) for a metal base. They go the extra mile when it comes to this, but keep in mind that it might not be "perfectly" match with your base in particular. We had better luck without using either of the brackets at all, and just connecting the metal base straight to the headboard.
