I was skeptical about what such an inexpensive headboard would look like when it arrived, but I was thrilled when it did. It looks as good as some I've seen in stores for 5 times the price. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because if you're very particular you'll notice that the nailhead trim isn't perfect - some are very slightly further apart or the tiniest bit uneven, but I think it kind of gives it a handmade look. The imperfections are so minor that you can't seem them from the end of the bed. As for assembly, I did it myself in about 15 minutes by simply attaching the supporting legs to my existing metal bed frame. I've had this for over a year now and have had zero issues with it. I'm still really happy with the purchase. 

Pros: Very good quality and easy assembly
Cons: Slight imperfections in nailhead trim
