Just put this up and I LOVE it! It was exactly what I was looking for. Couldn't have imagined it any better. It is not super sturdy, definitely wouldn't use it to rest against a lot. BUT, it looks amazing! The quality may not be that of one that is $1000 but it sure looks like one that could be $1000. For the price, this headboard could not be any better. The assembly was extremely simple, and the package was very light (the headboard itself is very light, thus why I wouldn't recommend leaning against it very often). However, I did have to go out and purchase new bolts that fit my frame (metal platform bed purchased off Wayfair) for about $2. Totally worth it for the end product. If you are on the fence about purchasing... go ahead and get it you won't regret it!
