Love this Headboard! Assembling was easy enough to do it on my own without a second person. Instructions provided were easy to follow although I was short two required wood dowels to properly secure the cross boards in the middle and had to improvise with my own screws. Once assembled I had help mounting it to my existing metal frame which took no more than 10 minutes. Looks amazing and it is sturdy enough. Feedback would be to ensure all needed screws and dowels are included maybe a couple extras as back up.
