Best Features: 
Square design headboard

Featured Customer Review: “Solid, well-made headboard. Appears to be a laminate, which will make it durable and a finish that won’t wear thin. Would fit in a modern type of decor or in a more traditional one. Easy to assemble. We paired it with the dresser and two nightstands.” - Tomtennis
