We really like that the foot board is low profile - it enables us to get the 'farmhouse' vibe with a very sleek and modern profile.  You will sometimes lose pillows down behind the headboard but the pillow bar does a good job of minimizing that.
Rating 4 stars because, as some other reviewers have noted, you have to make sure the supports under your bed do not bend. Especially if you have a large cali king or king bed.  Moving the bed into place with the mattress on it is especially dangerous for these supports and I could see how they could snap off if bent and then slept on.  With attention this is mitigated though.
