I really wanted to love this bed but there are quite a few issues with it. Even with a standard spring box and mattress there is still a gap before the headboard starts. On the side the black frame connecting the headboard to the bed is very visible and the side rails don’t align properly at the base. I checked to see if it was a construction issue but everything was followed perfectly. The biggest issue is that the headboard wobbles as you lean back on it as it is only connected to the bed lower down by a few screws. Since our bed doesn’t fit flat against the wall due to the skirting board we need a secure headboard and this bed appears poorly designed. Did anyone else experience this and if so how can you correct it? This could be the deal breaker!
