The headboard looks amazing for the price paid, the only downside to this item was the fact it is made of particle board. When you run your hands across the front, you can feel the veneer wood that's been glued to it and it feels extremely cheap. The other issue I had was the holes were not drilled to size and I ended up having to drill separate holes to get it to line up with the headboard backings. It's surprisingly heavy, which helps anchor the bed from moving around. Overall I gave it 4 stars because it still looks awesome and the only way to really tell it has a wood veneer finish is to get up close and feel it plus the added work of drilling holes.
