As shown in the picture, it will have a little gap, fine for me to fit my pillow in it

I'm pleased!

Product came earlier than the original planned delivery date, very well packed, so no damage. Unboxing and assembly was simple. Just the right amount of nuts, bots and washers. Assembly was super simple and took just a few minutes. Important to note, as other reviewers have, that the product does NOT come with the hardware necessary to attach to a bedframe. So in my case, that cost me just a few dollars and a trip to the hardware store to buy a couple of additional nuts, bolts and washers suitable for my particular bedframe. It was easy to figure out what I needed once the headboard arrived, in terms of the length and size of the nuts, bolts and washers. Once assembled and attached, looks great. Padded, great color, just as depicted. In my case, the bedframe is a little low to the ground - 12in to the top of the box spring - so there\'s a little gap between the bottom of the headboard and top of the mattress of about 3in. Once the pillows are on the bed, it doesn\'t really matter. If yours is higher, either mattress, frame or box spring, it will fit perfectly. In any case, I love it and it\'s the touch that the bed and the room really needed. I\'d buy it again.

Looks really nice and was very sturdy.

It is thinner than I imagined but great
