This product is better than expected for the price and was pretty easy to assemble. As one previous review said, the hardware had a little oil substance on it that felt weird while putting it together, but it really wasn't a big deal. The only thing I would say is that when I opened the package, the back of the headboard had a small tear on it. However, the tear doesn't show through to the front, so we decided to just keep it instead of trying to reorder a new one. Overall, a very solid product for only $100. It looks comparable to headboards that would cost $200+. The color is a tiny bit darker than pictured, but pretty close.
