I've come across old freestanding wooden headboards in antique malls all over.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oooh, that one looks nice, Jesse. It even almost goes with the rest of my furniture, style-wise. (My furniture is a mix of IKEA, hand-me-downs from various relatives, and two antique bookcases and a nightstand I inherited from my grandmother. They kind of end up working together, though -- the wooden stuff is all different styles, but all cherry or oak (or cherry-veneer) and all relatively simple and angular. The fabric stuff is all different colors, but I found a bedspread that's got stripes in just about every color that's in my couch and chairs, so it worked out.)
The Goodwill and antique shop suggestions are good, too. I think I'd rather go with somewhere that'll deliver, though, as I'm carless.

In "This Day in Technology" (from Wikipedia):

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Also from Wikipedia:
In 1989, Apple buried about 2,700 unsold Lisas at a landfill in Logan, Utah and got a tax write-off on the land they rented for it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww! I was so excited. They'd named it after me!
I feel a little odd about the poor buried Lisas.

I feel a little odd about the poor buried Lisas.
I don't like the sound of that AT ALL.
