Beautiful Finish! Not to be leaned on.
The finish on this piece is really, really beautiful. Fantastic even, especially for the price. Just keep in mind that this isn't the kind of headboard that you would want to lean on or push on. In other words, if you have the headboard setup so that it's against a wall, then it's perfect. But if you had it setup so that it's more than about 3/4" from the wall, you'd want to be really careful not to put too much pressure on it or lean on it. The reason being is that the connection pieces that join the base of the headboard to the bed itself are not very sturdy. Otherwise, it's great and I highly recommend it!
