This headboard is made out of really good quality wood. However I did have an issue when trying to assemble the hole that are in the bottom of the headboard were not straight so when I tried to use the hardware that came with the headboard I was not able to get it to screw in. I ended up getting some very strong glue to complete the assembly and so far its holding up and looks nice. Its for a spare bedroom so its not going to get a lot of use.
