This bed frame / headboard arrived in good shape- carefully packaged.  A little time consuming to assemble but the quality far exceeded my expectations.  We bought the King version.  We looked at comparable beds that were 2-3x this amount. Very very glad we bought this. I recall some comments about people complaining they could see `space` between top of mattress and bottom of head board. (Essentially seeing the wall / down to floor).  We have a standard 9" box springs + an average size mattress and it fits perfectly against the headboard - no gap.    

Pros: Quality exceeds. Looks more expensive than it is.
Cons: Time to assemble.
