Whom ever created/designed this headboard for shipping was a genius.  It includes everything you need to put it together and attach it to the bed frame.  The legs are neatly stored in an opening in the back of the headboard along with the nuts and bolts and directions.  After putting it together, the directions and remaining items can go back into the opening and their supplied cover simply attaches with velcro.  The legs are height adjustable to make it as grand as you like.  It was packaged well and delivered in perfect condition.  The grey fabric was a little darker than I had hoped for and also a little darker than the picture.  If not for the this, I would have given it 5 stars.  However, my bright white and aqua/torquoise curtains and accessories go with it nicely.  I got it on sale and it was worth every penny spent.
