Love the shiplap-looking headboard. Seems sturdy but time will tell. The only reason I docked a star is because they totally sent me the wrong bed first time round and I didn't realize it until we assembled the whole thing. It was a real pain dealing with the replacement and return. They should have just gifted us the wrong bed or sent a handyman to deal with the disassembling for return (and paid for it, given that the error was completely on their part). Thankfully we only needed to disassemble the headboard and footboard part because the wrong bed had compatible construction and assembly points as this one.
