I was looking for a bed that matched the warmer tones I wanted and had a hexagon-like theme for my new bedroom. This headboard is minimalist but sturdy and good-looking. The wood quality is high. I like that I don't need a box spring for the bed. You do need a second person to help you put the bed together, as someone needs to hold the headboard while the other person secures it, but it only takes about an hour to put together, and directions are clear. I am very happy with the overall look and quality!
