Very happy with this headboard! Seems very sturdy. Two things did bother me... with the standard frame we had, the headboard slightly floats above the floor and is only supported by the hardware (not sure if this is standard with headboards as this is my first one) and then secondly, the color has a strange marbling to it. It's dark enough that you won't notice it far away but it just looks weird and fake to me up close. I may end up painting it down the road but it's not worth fussing over right now. Otherwise the shape and style is true to the pictures!
