I had a sleigh bed which took up a lot of room in my bedroom - heavy, cherry furniture.  I wanted something different and after a lot of deliberation, I bought this headboard.  It's great!   It's very well made, sturdy and I love the color which is kind of a grey blue.  The set up was easy - my friend put it together by himself.  
 For the money, I couldn't be happier.  Love love love it.
