The but it that if you bolt it to a metal bedframe, it will wobble a lot. Some wobble is probably unavoidable, but the fact that this headboard is relatively tall makes it worse. I'm going to order some bed claw pieces that adapt the metal bedframe so it will hook into the groove on the headboard, rather than being bolted on. That way it will hook on a little higher and I hope it won't wobble so much. Atlantic makes a full open foot (no footboard) bed just like this and if I'd known that, I would have bought it because having a headboard, side rails and an open foot would make the whole thing more stable. The headboard was missing the little wooden buttons that cover the screws in the side but Great Offer Stock customer service took care of that little detail promptly. Also worth noting: I have since seen the headboard available elsewhere online for less.
