I was apprehensive in purchasing 2 of these headboards, but I took the plunge and do not regret it at all. With the sale and extras the price was fantastic. The headboards are tall enough to put pillows/shams and not cover up the metal. They are heavy and not cheaply made at all. No screws or bolts show. Glossy white and sturdy. They are much more substantial then they appear in the pictures. I am truly pleased with them.
