I'm very happy with this bed frame & headboard, although we had a small issue with assembly. For some reason there are hinges connecting the headboard to the bed frame, & one of the hinges was misaligned, so we couldn't fully open it to set up the headboard. We were able to take off that hinge & place it in a different spot to fix the problem, & the rest assembled fairly easily. Based on the photo, I also expected the headboard to be larger, but I'm actually quite pleased with its size, as it doesn't overpower my small room (even with a king size).
