I had looked online several times for a wooden king size headboard. I kept returning to this particular headboard because of style and color. I was able to check the size of the item to make sure it would fit correctly. The photos of the headboard correctly displayed the color of the wood. The item was purchased and I was notified the item was shipped and would arrive on 12-12-16. To my surprise the headboard arrived two days early. At first I was concerned because the box was somewhat damaged. There were several gashes in the cardboard. I unpacked the box and noted the way the headboard was packaged, there was no damage to any of the wooden parts. The instructions were easy to read. All of the parts were included along with spare screws, nuts, bolts, and the tools to install. The process of assembling was easy. Just take your time and follow the instructions without taking shortcuts. The only missing bolts were carriage bolts needed to attach the headboard to the bedframe. That was not a problem since the local hardware store carries the bolts. Within a couple of hours the headboard was assembled and attached to the bedframe. One thing I did really like was after all the parts had been attached and tightened, the headboard was solid. No noise or rattles. A good value for the price.
