My wife & I purchased this headboard when we upsized from our old double bed to queen size and wanted an attractive, low-cost headboard to mount to a standard bed frame.  We were able to do that with this product, but since it is so tall and made only of particle board, it was very flimsy when pressure was applied to the top as I tried to sit up in bed.  I had to add a post to the back of the headboard on each side.  After that modification, we are very pleased with the headboard.
