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.

I was going to suggest doing the same thing as Candyce mentioned (+1), i.e. they have a specific side, you can turn the bed around and "attach" the headboard either way.I didn't attach the headboard. I put felt pads to avoid scratching the wall, but the headboard, which can standup by itself, is squeezed between the wall and the bed frame.

We have ours at the highest height- the headboard does not touch the floor and it IS a little wobbly. It's in a guest room that doesn't get used too much but we liked the quality of the wood and it matched our other furniture so we just live with it. I would not want someone to lean hard against it too much.

I think the description of the item says there was no way to attach a headboard. I certainly did not see anything on this most basic of frames. I got around this by making an upholstered headboard which I attached to a wall with a "hangman" type hanger that can be found in your big box stores. My opinion is that the frame is too thin to be able to attach the typical headboard.

The headboard has legs that attach to the frame of the bed (the material of the headboard, therefore, does not go all the way down). I suppose the headboard could rest against the wall with the bed pushed up against it to hold it up, but I think it would be a little wobbly. Hope that helps.

Pretty long...I have it at the foot of my king size bed. And it goes to the wall (6'+) without any problem. Also the controller goesthat distance..plus some. I have it on my side table and it has plenty of slack in it..like about 2'. Hope that helps! John

My instinctive response is that you would lose some support by doing that, but keep in mind the bed I bought from them is 4' X 6'. There are some advantages to leaving a little bit of room between beds that size, in my opinion, as I like to be able to get in from all sides especially when there are bug issues. you never want to walk on raised beds.

Personally, I think that combination will be too high. We use the mattress only.I don't know about the headboard because I installed my own.

there is holes on the bed to mount, we haven't mounted it yet ,we intend to get a 6" board to go the length of the headboard , since our bed springs come apart at times and mount it with the headboard , so if there is pull from the springs , it will not pull the headboard apart

Hi Janet, I honestly don't know! It doesn't come into contact with anything where I currently have it. Love the idea of using it as a headboard though. This is the best purchase I've made in the last year!

Neat idea for a nightstand alternative! Did anyone answer what is the depth of the unit (how far from the wall will it stick out)?

No it doesn't stick out at all. It is actually about 5-6 inches short, so no overhang. You have the closed end side towards wall (where you can attach headboard if need be). I'm a very big guy and this is by far the strongest metal bedframe I have ever had. It is super simple to put together. Just click together. Make sure all are pushed down. The middle section is the main reason. I have a tempurpedic and have had 0 issues. I've recommend this type of frame to all. I personally have a queen, but I ordered the king for my GF's bed and it works like a gem. Sorry for the long response.

I have a small space too. Make sure you have the proper rails. It looks and feels good. Height from the floor up is 46 inches 64 inches across largest part of the headboard top is 5 1/2 inches. Foot board 64 by 15. Hope that helps.

No, actually the reverse is true. The problem we encountered was that we already had a bedframe with a headboard that will not accommodate the bedding set. We ended up giving it my in-laws to use on the guest bed for the kids when they come over because all they have is an inflatable twin mattress, no headboard, butted up against the wall and that works out just fine. Hope that helps.

I was thinking about this overnight. If you're concerned about a bedside table, it won't fit inside the inner and outer headboard posts. The bed isn't where I am at the moment, but it's the curve of the extension that makes it a problem. That being said, the distance is short enough that when you place a bedside table outside it, there's not a big problem using it. hope that answers your question. If there was a way to send you a photo, it might make it easier to see. It's a beautiful bed, everyone comments on it.

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)

Mine is definitely attached to the bed. Not sure if you can get creative and somehow mount it to the wall. It's a great looking headboard though!
