Well, since the frame is only connected to the headboard at a single bottom point (usually 2 screws on each rail), it will flex a bit when you lean back on it. It will be stable enough, but I wouldn't recommend it if you wanted to sit in your bed on a laptop and lean against the headboard for extended periods of time.
I don't think you'll get away from that unless you get a complete wooden bed frame with integrated headboard.
Other places to try? I borrowed some of these names from another thread here:
The Brick
Leons
Sears
The Bay
United Furniture
Bondar's
Lazy Boy
Crossroads Furniture
Fair Deal Furniture
Amber's Furniture
Ashley Home
Some of them will be more expensive than others...
Hey, that's my list!
I wouldn't try a headboard attached to a frame. Being that you are only looking for a queen bed places like Leons or The Brick will have lots to offer. I also suggest Crossroads. It's a big place, the sales guy was VERY helpful and friendly and their prices seemed better than the big chain outfits. It's just too bad they didn't have anything in a King we liked.
