I have nothing but glowing things to say about the headboard.  Other than the fact that the pre-drilled holes were aligned for the use of side rails, which we didn't purchase, the headboard was near perfect.  We were just mounting it to the bed frame so we had to drill holes that accommodated our particular frame.  This was a two person job as someone had to hold the headboard in place while the other person drilled the holes.  It was a little daunting, otherwise I would have rated it a full five stars.  The cherry finish matches perfectly with our pre-existing furniture.
