I should never had purchased this.  Cheep plywood and hard to assemble.  It took three hours and the headboard still has gaps.  The headboard is flimsy and I am afraid it will break.  We have a solid wood headboard already but didn't match the stain of the new dressers we purchased.  We are going to keep the new headboard, mainly because its a pain to repackage, and restrain our old one.
To sum things up you need to spend the money for a long lasting piece of furniture.
