We bought this headboard for my 4 year old daughters big girl room. She can keep all her books and little toys right by her, and it makes it much easier to keep the room clean!!  She loves it, and so do we. It is perfect in her smaller than average room. We also purchased the mates bed and nightstand to match. It couldn't be cuter. My husband spent a few hours assembling all three items, and didn't think it was too difficult.  For the price, this is an unbeatable deal. We're hoping it will last many years to come.
