I bought this in the sand color and was pleasantly surprised by the super easy assembly for this headboard, which joins to either a standard full or queen sized metal frame (two sets of holes appear on the back). The biggest downsides are that the "legs" are visible from the side of the bed, as there is nothing running down the sides to cover them (like in Item# 16672233). Also, the back is not finished, so you would have to position it against a wall (which is fine for me). Lastly, it is indeed a bit wobbly, but I'm not sure that can be prevented with this type of headboard design which joins to a standard metal frame (vs a full platform-type bed with headboard). Overall though, for the price, it was a great buy and really puts the finishing touch on my guest room.
