The headboard is nice and color is what I expected. It was fairly easy to put together. It wasn’t quick but didn’t take all day. The manufacturer put a small piece of board over the left side hole meant for the dow so we thought it was going to prevent us from completing it and having to return. My husband realized it and was able to pry it off so the hole was now visible. From there it was fine. We’ve had it up now for two days.
