We love this bed. It is tall and fills the space without dominating the room. What other people have said is true - the headboard is not as substantial as the footboard, but it looks fine and not cheap. And yes, the decorative feet are only on the footboard, but the bedding and nightstands we have cover the headboard legs anyway. It was easy to put together. It has four slats, with wooden legs for support in the middle of the slat. We added one more slat ourselves just to make sure everything stays stable. I like it more every day I have it.
