I love the look of this headboard! However, it is not a good fit for a queen size mattress. Due to the wings that come out from each side of the headboard, and the fact that the width between these wings is only 57" (a queen mattress measures 60" in width), the mattress must lay below the bottom of these wings. This wouldn't be a problem EXCEPT the holes that are made in the legs of the headboard to attach to a bed frame does not allow for this. Therefore, it was a huge project to add length to the legs of the headboard in order to attach the bedframe in a position that would allow the mattress to lay correctly. Luckily, I have a very handy father to make this work for me or I would have been out of luck and the cost of shipping it back. Moral of the story--this should only be advertised as a headboard for a full size mattress. And if you like jumping through hoops to get this to fit your queen size mattress, go for it because it's REALLY cute.
