I looked a long time for an upholstered headboard. I was convinced that I would not find anything that didn't look super cheap for under $350-$400. When I saw this headboard on sale I was skeptical but after reading all the reviews I decided to purchase. It was a great decision. Not only did the head board look great but it was also sturdy and easy to put together. This product looks much more expensive than it was, excellent value.
