I think this headboard is magnificent!  ….so beautiful and massive...
It looks wonderful in the room and adds a depth and texture lacking with the old one.
I was able to assemble this easily, as I had a large carpeted area to work on.

There were two issues I had both of which surprised me, especially for the quality and price of the headboard.  First, it did not come with bolts, etc. to attach the headboard to the frame.  I did call costumer service and the  rep. told me what to get.  I wound up making two trips to the hardware store, as the suggested 5/16 was too big for the frame, and the suggested 31/2 length was not long enough
Second, right on the front of the wooden post was an adhesive sticker...I am still working to remove it totally, which I am sure I can, but again, for the quality of that wood, I am surprised someone would put a sticker on it...especially on the front.
