Does the back of the headboard sit flush against the wall or is there any space? I need there to be a gap or else we get condensation on the walls.

We actually have windows behind the bed. So it is up against the sills. I'm pretty sure you don't have to put it flush against a wall. Perhaps if you put a spacer between the meal and the headboard it would work. We find it really sturdy.

it's flush against the wall but you can put a spaces between the wall and the headboard. also I have mine lifted off the floor because it was too low but other than that I love it. enjoy.

The headboard will fit snugly against your frame, but it's a very lightweight piece, so it will flex an inch or two. You can't sit up in bed and lean against it without causing it to rub against the wall. It's more decorative than functional.

It looks very natural. You end up with a small gap about 5", at the base of the bed. This is one of the most sturdy bed frames I ever owned. We have ours positioned were the top is about a inch from the wall and it looks great.

I've had no problem with headboard. I bought mine about 1 yr ago. I'm 6 ft tall and the back of my head touches near the end of the board. I'm happy with this product.

No cover on the back - so as long as you have a small gap before the wall the air can move

I have mine attached to a full-size bed. It's maybe 2-3 inches wider than the full-size frame on both sides. I just centered it behind the frame and it looks fine. Note that the headboard is made to fasten to a conventional bed frame. Since I bought a platform frame (to avoid the need to buy a box spring), the frame did not fasten the way a normal one would. My husband bolted a board across the bottom of the headboard and bolted the platform to that.

No , it is only a headboard that attaches to the bed frame. You must already have the mattress and box spring on the frame in order for it to fit without much of a gap.

The back side is slightly slanted so there is about a 1-2" gap at the top when against a wall perpendicular to it

I was wondering the same..is it all one part or is there gaps in between? Where the mattress goes? No gaps would be wonderful and sturdy.

There were 2 holes on the bottom of that front headboard piece that would lie flush with the bed. You attach there through the back of that board then into the bed frame... perhaps you used the wrong board in its place?

I have the same issue with a queen frame...I keep the mattress close to the headboard and have a much larger gap at the footboard. I honestly think that's the way this sleigh bed was designed. On the positive side, it's very easy to make the bed!

I don't know because we have the regular one. It is pretty wide and it looks like there is some extra room there but I can't tell for sure. I don't think it has a back so it might be that it would fit but not be flush with the wall, worst case scenario. But it's very easy to put together and looks great. And I imagine it would be easy to return if it didn't. The reviews for the unfinished one has the exact dimensions.

It was difficult for me to measure the center height from the floor because it's pushed against the wall with no room to move it out, but I'm thinking about 58 1/2 inches high in the center, plus or minus a half inch. I have queen mattresses with a queen bed frame I got with the mattresses at the store. I thought I would be able to attach the headboard to the frame with the given hardware, but no. The headboard legs are too narrow to attach to my standard queen frame. I have had it for 3-4 months and I haven't problem solved this yet. I just stood the headboard against the wall and shoved my bed against it. It looks good. I need to go to home depot and find out if there are some sort of brackets I can use to attach to the headboard and then to the bed frame. Kinda a pain, but I do LOVE the headboard. It's very gorgeous! I wouldn't want another one, other than the not fitting the frame, it's PERFECT!

I initially used it without a box spring and had a plywood board across the slats..but, after a few months I was over it and decided to get a box spring. Unless you have a very thick mattress there is a pretty big gap between the mattress and bottom of the headboard. I feel it's much better now.

I'm so sorry I don't have a tape measure. But my bed is pretty high. I dont have a extra thick mattress, and there is about a 3 inch gap from top of mattress to bottom of the head board. Its not a big notice, as I said in my review. I have lots of pillows and shams that I use.

I don't have gap on mine. The hinges have wiggle room but i recall adding some wedge type wood to make the close flush

It can't be exactly flush on the wall (like a picture frame), it sticks out about 5-6 inches. It still looks awesome though! Great for a master bedroom!
