We purchased a king bed which was a splurge in itself, so we did not want to spend a lot on a headboard... this was perfect.  We also had two windows we had to fit it between so that it why we liked this tapered style instead of rectangle.  We got it on sale, so we think it was a great value for the price.  Not the sturdiest thing ever, but I also am not used to only having a headboard.  Took my husband and I about 20 minutes to put together and another 10 to attach to bed.  If you are thinking about buying, I would say go for it!  It definitely looks like a higher quality headboard than what I paid for it!  The only problem was that they didn't tell me it was backordered until I never received shipping details so I had to call and inquire about it myself... they ended up giving me another 10% off!  Great customer service...Thanks Wayfair!
