We've had this headboard for a couple of years now and it has held up really well.  The only reason I gave it 4 vs. 5 stars is because the holes to connect it to the bed frame are off. Our bed frame is relatively new and a standard one so I think it has to do with the headboard and not the frame. We just have it set on the floor and not actually connected to our bed and it works fine. Other than that the look and durability have been great.
