This bed is fantastic! After reading reviews of similar beds with gaps between the headboard and the bottom of the bed, I decided to go with this one, and I could not be happier. I had considered the Chesterfield beds from Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn, but this bed is so similar, at a fraction of the cost and no outrageous shipping fees.  Assembly was super easy.  This was our first Wayfair purchase, and I would definitely do it again!
