I ordered this headboard in white. I was able to assemble it in about 10 minutes - the wooden dowels were already in place and all I had to do was screw in 4 bolts. It's quite sturdy and was super inexpensive - got it on sale for $140. Delivery was quick. The package was a bit banged up on one end, but it was wrapped up well - a box within a box, plus all the Styrofoam inserts. There was no damage to the headboard at all. Assembled, it looks nice and feels solid. It's the right size for our Tempurpedic on the adjustable base, without being too bulky or tall for the room. The only thing that I might possibly bring up, is that I will have to buy some sort of hardware to extend from the underside of the adjustable bed base to the headboard or just attach the headboard to the wall. That's not a complaint; just an observation for those who might have the same type of bed.
