well-made headboard.  very comfortable to lean against.  no creaks.  two issues we had: 1) the footboard trim board didn't align with the side trim board well, creating a visible gap that is not pretty-looking.   2) the adjustable-height legs holding the three cross-beams tend to slip at an angle.  have to push them to get them up right every time we move the bed.     With these few design flaws, it's a very nice-looking and substantial bed.
