The package arrived before the expected date and was easy enough to assemble. Unfortunately, it is VERY cheaply made. By no means am I a very heavy girl, and the first time I sat on the bed (about to lay down for the night) the wooden support that comes already attached by the manufacturer to the side panel snapped right in half! I was not happy at all! I was really looking forward to getting this peice and am pretty disappointed I wasted my money on the headboardbedframe (

On a better note, the headboard does look nice as long.

P.S The hardware and instructions are pretty well hidden in a Velcro compartment inside the headboard
