I recently remodeled our guestroom and needed a headboard for the new bed. I settled on this one because I liked how it looked and the dimensions were what I needed. For reference, the mattress is resting on a Zinus 18" Smartbase platform, and I purchased the matching headboard brackets separately.I live in a Cape Cod style home which means EVERY room upstairs has angled ceilings. I hate it because it really limits the furniture you can place against walls because there's only about 49 inches in height. So finding a headboard that would fit was important. In the end I decided that a height adjustable one was ideal, because even if a fixed height headboard met the height specs on paper, there was still a possibility it could be too tall if the posts had to be raised off the floor when attaching them to the headboard brackets.When I unboxed this headboard, everything seemed to be perfect. No damage. There are only three pieces to assemble: two posts and the headboard. Unfortunately, those three parts were the only items in the box. There were no assembly instructions and no hardware. Usually I would have just requested an exchange or contact the seller to request the missing hardware, but I was impatient and wanted to assemble it NOW. The only problem was that I had no idea what hardware I needed. Once I found out what screws I needed, I sent my husband out to get them, which were more expensive than I expected. FYI what you need are four M8 1.25 x 45 mm screws.Once I had them, assembly was extremely simple. I would not have needed the instructions had they been inside the box. You just place two screws on each side at the height you want the headboard to be. And if you're like me, and get the height wrong on the first try, it's really easy to unscrew and readjust. It attached perfectly to the Zinus frame and it is definitely sturdy.Overall the headboard is fine, but I don't think it works as well if it's adjusted too low. I don't think this is a fault with the headboard though; it's a combination of the height of the bed platform (18"), the height of my mattress (13"), and the height of the wall (49"). In hindsight I probably should have purchased a 14" platform, but I just find the 18" to be more comfortable for getting in and out of bed. In any event, because the platform is so high, and I'm unable to make the headboard any higher because of the ceiling, it creates a situation whereby the headboard chops off a few inches from the platform. In essence, it blocks the mattress from sliding under it because there's no room. So those inches of mattress end up pushed over the foot of the bed. It's not by an extreme amount, but definitely noticeable unless you have a long bedspread to hide the mattress.I was unsure of what rating to give this headboard that I thought was fair. I couldn't give it 5 stars because of the missing hardware, but the headboard itself is fine. Ultimately I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5, as my only other issue is that I think the padding could be a bit more substantial. It's a bit stiff, especially compared to the Zinus upholstered headboard I have in the master bedroom which is very similar to this. As a stomach sleeper, my hands and arms are always resting on the headboard so its comfort is important to me whereas for others it might not be. It just comes down to personal preference.Perfect for her dorm room!The headboard looks exactly like the photo, and I’m very happy I purchased it from Amazon warehouse at a nice discounted cost. The box had damage, which was noted up front, but it had never been unpackaged (definitely not a used return) and there was no damage to anything inside the box, no missing parts.Set up was a breeze. My husband attached it to a metal frame without issue while I just did a bit of holding in place when the holes were aligned for screws. It took maybe 10 minutes.My only takeaway is the headboard moves back against the wall when you lean against it, then comes back into place when you lean forward. All the nuts and bolts stay snug. Maybe it’s because it’s only attached to a metal frame instead of a full bed frame, I’m not sure. We’re going to figure out a way to put bumpers on the back of the headboard to fill the space between that and the wall so there’s no space for it to move.I’m going to check reviews to see if someone else has done something similar.This headboard is wonderful. I love it. I'm so pleased with it for the price. It looks great in the room. It was delivered on time. It was very easy to put together. I was able to assemble it alone. However, you may not be able to do that if the rails for the head board don't touch the floor. You'll have a choice of holes that allow you to mount the headboard higher or lower in relation to the mattress. I wanted to make sure there was no gap between the headboard and mattress. To do this I marked where stood one rail up and against the bead with the mattress and headboard on it. Then made a small mark where the top of the mattress. That meant the rails\boards that secure the headboard to the frame where touching the floor. I have hardwood floors. To make sure my floors don't get scratched, I put felt pads at the bottom of the rails. If you have carpet, you may want to put something on the bottom that allows the rails to slide easily across the carpet as you move the bed. Because the rails were touching the floor that made it easy for me to stand it up and use the adjacent wall to help me line the headboard up with the the frame. The bed had no headboard for 15 years. I decided to finally put a headboard on the bed because I was hosting guests and didn't want it to look the bed of a college student. Go figure. As this was my old room I could have been enjoying this for myself , if I had done it 15 years ago.A little shaky, but good for priceLooked just like I wantedIt just works, due to paper thin walls and curious neighbors. I will buy more for drowning out the snoring in the house.I absolutely LOVE it! Its perfect size for my small bedroom for my full bed. Love the fabric. What a great price for this.I am so happy I bought this headboard! It came quickly, in perfect shape, and was very easy to assemble. The fabric was a beautiful colour and the studs were all lined up nicely. I get so many compliments on it!not bad. i got a good deal on that this why i bought it. i attached it to a metal queen bed base and it was tricky. i think it was meant for bed with a frame which i didn't have. but it looks ok.Great headboard! Was exactly the color I'd hoped, fabric is great quality. And most of all, the value. Can't believe I paid so little. I'd definitely recommend this product.Arrived ahead of time and was as depictedLooks great, nice fabric and colour, easy to install. Good price and fast, free delivery.
