This is perfect, exactly what are guest bedroom needed.  We wanted attractive headboards which could compliment twin mattresses.  These do, since they are not massive in size.  Upright side rail is about 1 1/2 inches, the top rail 1 inch, and scroll about 3/8ths of an inch.  The bronze color is dark, some may mistake it for black at a quick glance.  We shopped at local furniture stores and could not find anything like this. We did not purchase the foot board.  Bottom line we are pleased with the purchase
