The bed is gorgeous. It's large and adds a lot to a room without taking too much space (if that makes sense). The headboard is also light-weight. Love the bed. My only complaint is that the instructions are nearly impossible to understand...VERY unclear instructions. Also the way that the headboard connects to the bed-frame is very...I doesn't seem very secure to me, but the headboard is light so you should be fine. Overall, great bed for the price. I would highly recommend, but I would also recommend getting it assembled by a professional.
