First off like all the other reviews the wood is darker (I order this Headboard knowing that) . The wood is heavy and thick . Good Quality overall the only problem so far is that I didn't come with assembly instructions and it was missing half the hardware. The Wayfair team has been awesome and is sending the missing hardware . You can find The assembly instructions under specifications but you have to use a PC instead of your phone . Will add a updated review once we can put this thing together . I'm still not upset the other Wooden Headboard/frames I was looking to purchase were $1300- $1400.
