I have an adjustable bed frame so the rails are not supporting any weight. Each piece of wood in the headboard is 5.5 inches long and 1.5 inches tall. I used boards that were 1/2 inch thick and 3/4 inch thick and put them on in the checkerboard pattern. I have some navy blue and coral in my bedroom so I decided to paint a few block with those colors. I used poplar wood because I thought it would hold up better and it wasn't too expensive. It took a while to build because of cutting all of the individual blocks.
