The headboard is the best of the pieces that we have. I LOVE hot it looks, as I do with all this furniture set. However the white finish layer of the other pieces (doesn't seem to apply to headboard) chips and flakes off VERY easily at edges of drawers, bottom edge of dresser, etc. I'm not sure how it will hold up over time. We have a smiliar type set that is a different mfg. and it seems to be better quality. No big complaints though. It is what it is, and like I said, it looks wonderful in our daughter's room.
