The quality for the price you pay on this piece is amazing!  Definitely worth it.  It is a little wide, but it doesn't look bad.  The fabric is good quality and I put it together myself in about an hour.  It could be a tad "sturdier" with the base, but that may be due to the structure of my base, not the headboard.  I have the sealy posturepedic adjustable bed, so it may not be that way on a regular one.  It came quickly, too.  I'm impressed with the delivery service used.
