I needed a headboard ASAP for my guest room and didn't want to spend too much. I ordered the headboard thinking it would "just do" and couldn't be more pleased with the end result. It did take a little bit of assembly and it is worth the time to make sure that you attach the headboard properly to the bed-frame, but the end result looks as though you spent at least twice as much. Well worth the price. The fabric is nice, it is sturdy, well padded and is the finishing touch my guest room needed.
