LOVE this headboard!  My master bedroom is visible from the living room and the headboard always catches peoples eye and draws them into the doorway and they comment on it.  So - I now have to always make my bed!  We have 8ft ceilings in my room and I was a little worried it would be too tall and just too overwhelming, but it totally isn't.  A decorator encouraged me to go bold and just get it and I'm so glad she pushed me.  We have 2 young boys, have had the headboard for 2 years and it has held up great.  No spots, pin tucking all in place.  P.S.  Got the rug and bench from Wayfair as well!
