The look of the headboard is exactly what I was looking for, not too overwhelming, simple elegence.  However, I disagree with comments of sturdy.  We had a difficult time getting the leg extensions into the headboard, we had to use a hard surface and basically jam them into the headboard, as they would not otherwise fit.  The holes to attach to the bed frame were off, so the headboard does not even touch the ground, but since it is for looks only, we made it work.  Also, one of the points where it is welded together was not done correctly, but unless you are looking very closely you will not see it.  I did not want to spend a great deal of money, but wish I would have paid a little more and purchased a Made in America product.  Am happy with the looks but do not feel the quality is what it should be.
