efore you start, measure the width of your bed to help you determine what size the base of your headboard needs to be. If you want the headboard to overhang the bedframe, add 10cm to the measurement. I made this headboard for a king bed and my measurements were 2.1m wide with a top height of 1.2m and two 150mm legs. I could get all the pieces I needed from one 2.4m x 1.2m piece of MDF.
