Eh. I was underwhelmed by this. The wood stain was darker than I thought it would be based on the concept images provided. It was however a nice heavy weight and sturdy on its own. The cane was rough and tattered a little here and there, it felt as though you could accidentally break it - like the cane was too dry. Also, the color of the cane was not consistent. This did not scream quality to me and unfortunately was not worth the total cost for the king headboard. The discount to keep it was not Enough to persuade me.
