This has been a great bed for us. We have had it for about 3 years now. It is incredibly solidly built. Very, very solid. The bed does not move. I am happy with the headboard, sometimes the attachment is a little flimsy and the headboard sort of moves, not so on this bed. It is a nice solid back that you can lean on. My primary complaint about the design would be in the decorative trim work on the foot board. This trim sticks out and is exactly the height of a knee cap. The wood of this furniture feels like hitting iron when you bump into in the night. Over time we have gotten accustomed to taking a wide route around the bed at night because we have hit this so many times. Otherwise it is a great bed that we are very pleased with.
