My headboard arrived on time, and the package was not damaged. 

It took me about an hour to put it together, and attach it to my bedframe. 

It is a very nice looking headboard. We wanted something with a bit of an older feel to it, and this serves the purpose. It is a bit chunkier that I was expecting. The finals on the 3 inside bars, and the one they connect to across the top are a bit larger than I was expecting (probably about an inch deep), but that just adds to style of the headboard. The color is black with a bit of a sheen to it. 

It is light in weight, so it is not an old fashioned heavy metal headboard. I only gave it 3 stars because the 5 inner bars in the middle of the headboard are not completely saudered,  or welded, to the frame. It is welded on the side of each bar, but not in the front or the back which could lead to them breaking. This makes me wonder how it will hold up to use.
