Was so excited to get this bed, but after taking the headboard out I immediately knew I'd be sending it back.  The issue is 100% with the nail heads. 1 - they aren't actual nails, but rather a strip of faux-nails that don't even have a consistent size. 2 - the nails are VERY shiny.  This make the bed look very cheap and feminine. Wouldn't be so bad with a matte finish; I could get over the "strip" of faux nails, but the shine is just awful.  Unless I received a different bed from the rest of the reviewers, I'm not sure how anyone could review this positively. Maybe it works for a teenage girl, but this bed is not good for gender neutral or a male bedroom.
