This headboard is exactly what I expected, so I am satified with the purchase.  The reason for 3 stars only is to make sure that no one is fooled into thinking this is a fine piece of furniture.  It is not.  Cheap wood, rough finish, etc.  It was easy to put together, had all parts, and was packed well, with no shipping damage.  Arrival was prompt.  On a quick glance it will pass as more substantial than it is.  This is entirely suitable for a dorm room, kids room, or extra guest room.  If you are picky about having quality furniture, then this is not for you.
