The Hale is built around a 51.1-inch wingback headboard — tall enough to make a real statement above the bed, upholstered in cream white boucle with a soft, woven texture. The wings curve in gently at the sides, which softens the straight lines and gives the whole piece a quieter, more furniture-like presence than a typical upholstered panel.
Underneath the fabric is a metal frame, so the structure holds its shape over time without sagging or loosening at the joints. This is a king size metal bed frame, not an all-wood build, which is part of why it stays quiet and steady night after night. A box spring is required with this frame — plan for a total mattress-plus-box-spring height of about 17 to 18 inches or more.
Assembly is genuinely fast: it ships in one box, comes with all hardware including a ratcheting wrench, and two people can usually put it together in about 30 minutes. An assembly video is available if you want to follow along step by step.
