The headboard came fully assembled and easy to handle, I was skeptical at first to a headboard on line, without seeing and checking the construction of the item, but I have order other furniture from Wayfair and never had a issue, or I was  never dissatisfied with there product. The headboard was well constructed, the material look and felt wonderful, beautiful looking. My wife was overwhelmed of how it all fit in the room, couldn't ask for anything better for the price.
