I really like the unique design of this headboard. I was a bit concerned about "sparkle" but find that it's hardly noticeable.  While not heavy duty, it should be strong enough to survive in our guest room, as long as the grandkids don't try to climb on it.  The bed frame we used must be an unusual make because the headboard legs don't reach the floor, but I plan to use some blocks underneath to fill the gap.  All in all, this is a great looking headboard for a very good price.
