I was so excited to finally find a metal headboard that was simple, white, and perfectly fit into my simplistic style. I couldn't wait to get it and put it up. I am very pleased with the purchase. I did not realize it came with a matching footboard. I don't plan on using the footboard yet (I have an older dog who jumps on the end of the bed and a footboard would not allow him to get up), but some day I will. I am exceptionally happy with this purchase and recommend it wholeheartedly.
