A beautiful headboard at a great price. I was reluctant to buy just a headboard without the footboard for fear it wouldn't be very stable but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this headboard is very sturdy and nice looking. It was also easy to assemble. I wanted to attach it to my existing frame but it didn't fit. Fortunately, it came with a free frame that worked perfectly. I was concerned that my queen bed has two twin box springs instead of a queen box spring and the middle bar goes down the center, instead of across the width, but that concern turned into confidence when all was said and done because it actually keeps the two box springs pushed together it fits that well.
