The outer box arrived damaged but the inner box was undamaged and everything arrived just fine. Good assembly instructions. Had no problems once I realized I needed my wrench to hold the washers steady while I tightened the bolts against the bed frame with the Allen wrench. As others have noted, the joints could be a little better but it's not too noticeable. Didn't need the plastic feet, my headboard feet came with them installed. Appreciate the extra hardware just in case. Nice quality, feels sturdy, and  I think the headboard will be great with the mattress once it comes in a few days. I wanted a pretty headboard that wasn't too feminine and didn't block the light or prevent access to the window with the bed in front of the window, and it does all that. Happy with my purchase.
