This is a beautiful headboard, however, the stain/paint is VERY easy to chip off.  We will have to find some stain/paint to hopefully cover the bare white spots now.  It was boxed pretty well, but the King size is extremely heavy, thus the reason some of the chipping that occurred.  Without the excessive chipping, this headboard could easily be 5 starts, but for almost $1000, I was hoping the stain/paint would be a little tougher and would not chip so easily.
