This is a fantastic headboard, especially if you're going for a coastal look. The open weave allows wall colors to come through and helps the room feel larger. Unlike some headboards that we considered but ultimately rejected, this one had several pre-drilled holes for mounting to a metal bed frame. Sounded good. Unfortunately this headboard is a couple inches wider than our standard  bed frame so there was no way to attach it. We really liked the headboard so it took a few days to find a solution. Apparently there is a product called "modi plates" (who knew?!) that we purchased from a local mattress store for $15, which allowed us to extend the reach of the bedframe. Now it's all connected and looks like a million bucks. Love it!  Looks so nice and, except for the problem mentioned above, we would have given it five stars.
