The headboard was shipped promptly & I was eager to put it together. I was happy to see it included wood pieces to reinforce the bottom portion since the top is pretty heavy. Once together it sits behind my queen bed flush to the wallwall and it doesn't portrude out on the sides. Since adding the headboard my room looks complete & feels cozy. The picture represents exactly what the product looks like in the pic.  The only issue was- one of the wood pieces lacked a hole that was necessary to attach it to the leg. I thankfully have drill & added it. Other than that its the perfect addition to my room

Pros: simple to assemble & has a classic look 
Cons: had to do extra when putting together due to missing hole
