Fantastic! It looks as substantial in person as it does online, if not more. It is very heavy, solid wood. Beautiful rich color. I am very happy with this aesthetic.

 If you use a standard metal bed frame, box spring and mattress, then the bed comes up higher on the headboard than shown in the product picture. 

Since I have not slept in the bed so I cannot speak to the comfort, but I can say that with the pillows it looked like it would still be comfortable to sit up in bed and rest against the headboard. Even with no pillows the peaks of the geometric cuts is not sharp but blunt.
