The silver decorations are one, long, glued (I'm assuming) piece, but show no signs of falling off.  The fabric is lightweight--I imagine it may rip fairly easily, but ours is in our guestroom, so it won't get much wear and tear.  The headboard just sits on the ground--just be aware of that.  Also, if you use a box spring, the pillows will take up most of the headboard, but without a box spring, it isn't sturdy enough.  It looks great, isn't tough to put together, and is worth the money.

Pros: Looks nice, low price.
Cons: Waiting to see how it holds up.
