Measurements were exact and that was extremely important because I had a limited amount of space between windows.  I did have a problem with screwing in one of the legs. When I called, the Wayfair rep was so helpful and ready to resend the the whole headboard.  I really wanted to work with the one I had before throwing in the towel.  It took a flashlight and a little time but i figured it out and everything else went together perfectly.  My son loves it as do I.  Amazing price, quality, delivery time and customer service.
