We really like the headboard we ordered. It looks really good and was pretty simple to assemble. We only have a metal frame, and I will tell you that even though the details explain that the board can be bolted to any frame, it was extremely difficult to attach it to our metal frame. We were able to do it by creating new holes and using larger screws (that we thankfully had laying around in the house) but the top of the headboard is not very sturdy. The assembly instructions indicate that the frame can be screwed in to your wooden platform bed - I think that would be the ideal situation.
