The headboard was very easy to assemble.  It only took about 10-15 minutes. The headboard itself looks nice.  The color is like a natural wood. The one thing I am not too excited about is that the headboard sits very low.  My picture shows it propped up on some floor tiles I stuck between the mattress and box spring.  Without those, the top of the headboard only sat about 6 inches above the mattress.  If you like that low profile look, it’s great.  I prefer it propped up like shown in my picture.
