I was very leary about purchasing a headboard and frame online. I did a lot of research and I did NOT want a cheap looking and feeling bed. I took a chance and I'm glad I did. It was super easy to put together and it looks amazing. It is sturdy, does not wiggle or make noises.  There is an initial weird smell (like strong glue) when we first opened it but that dissipated within the hour. The reason for the 4 stars is the shipping. I am located in Idaho (USA) and the product was located back east in the USA. It took a month to be received! And there was no tracking what-so-ever. That was frustrating to me.
