The headboard is beautiful, real wood, exactly what I wanted aesthetics wise, BUT I did not realize this was solely for a platform bed (?). I was shopping for a headboard to be attached to a regular typical bottom metal frame. So I had to get some screws from my toolbox and Micky-Mouse the thing on to being attached to the metal frame. It looks great, but when someone is moving around while on the bed, it jerks the attachment and hits the wall, making the banging noise. It also doesn't reach the bottom of the floor, hence its for a low platform bed, not a regular metal-framed bed. I wanted to return it, but it does look good. It's just not serving the entire purpose I really needed it for. If I had gotten it for the platform bed it's actually intended for, I'd be satisfied. I didn't know and think that they should make that much more clearer in their listing. It is very good looking and well made though.
