The headboard arrived in good condition and was very easy to attach to the bed.  It's a bit wobbly toward the top, since the brace doesn't go all the way up.  But we are planning to add some type of wedge between the braces and the wall so it gives support when we sit up.  The leather puckers a bit in the corners but that's understandable, with the corner fold. These issues do not take away from the look of the headboard. It is a beautiful piece that comes at a great price.
