Whew! This beauty! Let me tell you about this great piece of art that is my headboard. It was the first and only item in my master bedroom for a while and was a conversation starter in an empty room. Everything is coming together nicely as I am ultra careful to perfect the space surrounding this piece. The headboard is heavy, and durable. The shipping was quick as per usual with Wayfair. It does come with extra wood pieces to secure it to the wall. I was able to find a platform to my liking to complement the headboard. I'm sure I'll have it for a while and it'll grow with us for some years.
