Went Without A Headboard For A Very Long Time And Had My Eye On This For Quite A While. Kept Searching For Something That Might Compare But Ended Up Buying This. Very Glad I Did, It'S Sturdy Enough And Since I Needed To Put It Up Against A Window, I Wanted Something Open And Airy As Opposed To A Solid Wood One. This Fits My Needs Very Well And Is Pretty Sturdy. The Style Matches Well With Many Decors. Glad I Bought It And The Shipping Was Outstanding. I Think I Had It 2-3 Days From My Order!!
