I’m glad I was able to find an upholstered headboard that didn’t look too feminine, since this was going in the master bedroom. My boyfriend said it was easy enough to assemble. It doesn’t seem like the most sturdy piece of furniture, but I’ve always had iron beds, so I’m not sure if a wooden bed is just flimsier in comparison to an iron bed, or if this bed just isn’t the best quality. So far so good though.
