This is a nice headboard. It takes 2 people to put together and does not come with a bead frame. I have an adjustable base and this works with it with the bracket attachments that came with my bed. Mine came with rivets which was not in the description but whatever. I think part of why this is so expensive is because it costs a lot to ship a product this large so they build that into the coat because I honestly don’t feel like this is an $800 quality headboard, so there’s that. It was the tallest and largest I could find for my room which is super big and this balances out nicely.
