I was disappointed at the appearance of this white headboard. It had dings, dents, a 10 inch deep scratch in addition to a few smaller ones that had been painted over. I needed to complete this room within a certain timeframe so I did not have time for another return (which would've been the second return). My husband had to break out the drill because one of the pre-drilled holes was not functional.  It's a nice headboard and was just what we needed, but the appearance was a real big turn off.
