I like this Headboard except  that one of the boards (right in front) had two big scratches on it.  This was done during shipment.  I didn't return the headboard because I wanted to get the headboard put on the bed right away.  I used the enclosed pen to cover the scratches and that helped some.  Other than that, I didn't expect to have to put the headboard together, but that worked out OK.  It looked like I expected and is very nice.
