I hesitate to purchase something without personally seeing the quality and color for myself.  How pleased I was when my headboard arrived (a day early).  The quality, weight, color and design live up to all my expectations.  I'm seventy-five years old and I almost put it together by myself.  My husband had to tighten the bolts for me.  Within two hours I had my bedroom completely decorated.  I must admit that reading the reviews for the headboard were what convinced me to take the chance and order.  I would be glad to recommend this to others.  Thank you for restoring my trust.
