Both the headboard and footboard have damage to the internal structure. It may not be very noticable in the pictures attached, but the internal boards are cracked and detached, and not providing support. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I had completely unpackaged and was nearly done assembling. I really like the look of this frame but it is a huge bummer to pay for something already damaged. I'm afraid of my child using the footboard as a step and making the damage even worse as it seems extremely fragile in that area now.
