The box the headboard arrived in was pretty heavily damaged.  We were really concerned that the headboard itself would be too, but it was fine. The quality is really poor and the headboard is flimsy.  It's not at all what we expected for paying $500.  The color was off as well.  I think it was listed as "zuma white" and was supposed to be more of an off white with a hint of gray.  At least that's what it looked like to us.  It's more of a bright white.  Between the extremely poor quality and the color being off the entire headboard was extremely disappointing.  The hassle of returning it on top of the charge for return shipping wasn't worth sending it back.  We kept it, but we're not happy with it.
