How far does this stick out from the wall? Moving from house to apt. Want headboard but thinnest possible so less space is taken up in room. Thx!

If you have the THICKEST part of the top knob flush against the wall, it looks to be about 3 & 3/4 inches. That would be as close as you could get it to the wall. My Drexel Heritage wooden headboard is only 1-1/2" thick, so there are definitely headboards that take up less room. There are also headboards with thinner knobs as well, I would imagine. This one is pretty much how the picture shows with the top knobs being the biggest thickness and thus preventing it being any closer to the wall. Hope this helps!

Approximately 3 inches. The knobs on the top are the thickest part of the frame.

This bed is flimsy enough that attaching a headboard without a great deal of hardware is impossible. To solve the problem of the headboard, I made a headboard and attached it to the wall (like a painting, a heavy painting) just in the proper location to mimic the placement of the headboard. That way the attachment of the headboard is not integral to the bed but looks great. I found that merely moving the bed could potentially cause breaks to the bed so attaching anything to the bed was too problematic.

Everything still looks good on the bed. But make sure the bed is on a flat wall( because let's say you have a heater on the wall. You may lay on the headboard and it will break over time) . So have it on a flight wall so it doesn't happen( it hasn't happened to me. But I just noticed that)

A low profile will work better than a full size box spring. I have a full size and it is too high it covers too much of the headboard.

I purchased this headboard for my queen size bed. We have a regular metal frame with a boxspring and pillowtop mattress and it looks fine. The only problem we have with the headboard is that since it is mounted to our metal frame, there is a lot of movement if the bed is not up against the wall. We have the bed in front of our window which is fine--I just cannot sit up in my bed, with a pillow behind my back and read a book!

I wish I could post a picture I took. Where the headboard would go are two large-ish plates, one on either side (barely visible in the product picture). One each plate there are 4 horizontal oblong cutouts - one on the top and bottom, two in the middle that look like nuts and bolts could be used to attach a headboard. I can't see any other purpose for these plates. Plates are not present on the bottom of the frame (foot) so a footboard couldn't be attached. I'm not 100% but I think a headboard could be attached.

Hi, the ends will stick out because the headboard is made in a certain way so that it is slightly larger than the bed. You can actually view the dimensions in detail on our site using your model number, 3107270.

The shelf starts 6" away from the wall. Measuring from the front of the shelf back to the wall is over 21". In our case we have an LCD panel mounted above the shelf, therefore the shelf sticks out much further than the TV. This shelf hangs in my daughters bedroom and is placed on the opposite wall from her bed. Therefore, you have to be careful when you walk around the end of the bed so you don't hit your head on the shelf. We ordered the OmniMount Tria 2 shelf version as well and it is much closer to the wall - from the front of shelf to wall is 15 3/4". This version works very well in her living room but would be rather large to hang in bedroom unless you are also installing gaming systems.

The headboard is 3 inches thick and it's soft padding. I don't know if you want something thicker, but it looks good. The headboard comes with the rest of the bed, so don't buy anything separately. I had to contact amazon because the headboard had not arrived, but the place where it was purchased from was prompt to respond and made sure I got the headboard within a day or two. It's a good buy.

I ordered this headboard and love it! I'm pretty sure the shipping box was just big enough to hold the headboard without too much excess. You could always remove the headboard from the box before carrying it upstairs. Hope this helps.

It's a board notched at the top so the headboard slides over it and "hangs" on it. The board is first mounted to the surface of the wall with screws into the vertical studs behind the drywall. Be sure to check for level and mount it at the proper height. This is not difficult. After assembling the head board 2 people will be required (one on each end) to pick it up and slide it down and against the wall so the hanger on the back of the headboard catches the groove on the horizontal rail mounted on the wall. Important not to over tighten the screws causing the groove to be squeezed and reduced in size causing the headboard not to fit the groove. Again not difficult. I am very pleased with this head board and bed as it gives the room a very "clean" look.

I wouldn't plan on hanging a headboard off of this. If the headboard was mostly self supported, you could tie into it for basic stability. We hung out headboard on the wall which is an alternate option.

I only ordered a headboard and it was only $100 with no shipping or handling charges. Order what you want from the company and question them. I like my headboard, except with our king size mattress (which is 18" deep) there is a gap under the rail and pillows will go in it. I ordered a king size mattress wedge to go with mine and no longer have any problem with this.

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.

We initially set it up with the bed pulled out. When we put it up into futon mode (or the couch kind of position) it was only a few inches from the wall and we leave it there so that we can use the bed when needed without moving the entire unit.

we did not install the headboard directly to the frame of the bed but instead we attached it permanently to the wall behind the bed. on seeing the results, one would never know that it wasn't attached to the bed. if this method is used, it is a good idea to use wood spacers between the wall and the frame, so as not to allow the frame to hug tight against the wall. if there are not wall studs to directly screw into, you can obtain screws with wall locking devises from a hardware store that will attach the frame securely to the wall.
