This headboard is AWESOME!! We have the king size headboard which came packaged in a big, thin box with padding. It was really easy to install on our frame with just a few screws. The finish on it looks great and the sturdiness will allow us to use it for many years to come. 
We had looked for months to find exactly what we envisioned for our new master bedroom. I could not be happier with this purchase!
NOTE Dogs did not come with this purchase….but they highly approve!
