Do not buy this item!!! I saw mostly good reviews so I thought let's try it!! It is shipped with the metal legs attached to the back. You have to unscrew the legs to then reattach them where they need to go. The first time we got the headboard, the screws became stripped when we tried to unscrew them and we couldn't get the legs off. We called and Joss and Main immediately mailed us a new one. (Great!) Now, we got a second headboard and the legs are screwed on so tightly to the back that they won't even budge. We have tried everything. Save yourself the frustration and don't order this item!
