I was going to give this headboard four stars, but really, it deserves more like 4.5, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and go with five. I ordered a total of four different headboards for all our beds, so I definitely put some time into researching them all. In the end, this is my least favorite of the four, but that's probably due more to its size than anything else. I think it would make a greater statement in a larger size, but I purchased it as a twin, so it doesn't really have the wow factor I was after. It does, however, have a few things going for it: solid quality, great price, rustic appeal.
