I had been watching this headboard forever and trying to decide if I wanted to get it or not. Then when it went on sale, I just had to jump on it! What a great deal! I haven't put it up yet because I bought it to use in our beach house and we haven't made the trip out there yet, but out of the packaging it looks perfect and just what I wanted. I was originally looking to get it in white, but the cherry finish is nice too. I have to say I'm very pleased with it.
