I didn’t expect much from such an affordable headboard.  It was supposed to be kind of a temporary”fix” for my inability to find one that I loved.  I’m not saying this is my dream headboard, but it sure isn’t a bad substitute.  I’m surprised at the lack of “sway”.  It has some sway, but I expected to have to be always aware of it and be careful not to abuse a sub-quality piece of furniture.  Not the case.  I no longer even give it a thought when I have the desire to flop myself onto the bed.  I’ve been pleased.
