I bought this as a gift for my adult son. It looks great and has a more masculine look than a fabric headboard - he can also just dust it without the need to vacuum. He likes that there are no buttons on the tufting, so that it is more comfortable to lean against and watch tv. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that the legs extend only 1/3 up the back of the headboard. It would be sturdier if they extended further up the back.
