I got this headboard for my 6 years old Great Grandson he's real active and it seems to be able to handle all his activities without any problem. It holds the bed steady, and really looks great in his room. Infact we just ordered the dresser maybe I"ll send a picture when we get it next week. Had no real problem setting it up once I put the rollers on. I added some non scratch pads under the head board and some 5/16X1.5 inch bolts and nuts. Besides that  everything went swell.
