I will start off by saying I have purchased many items from Wayfair and found all of them acceptable.  Unfortunately, this headboard was not one of them.  When we opened the box to assemble, there was pea gravel and sand all over inside the box.  This is likely the cause of all of the scratches on the dirty boards we found inside.  When we put the bed frame onto the headboard, the headboard holes did not match up so we had to compromise on that as well.  I would not recommend this item to anyone.
