For our small home, this headboard is the perfect size, was easy to assemble, and parts are packaged.neatly inside the back of the headboard which zips open.  Had seen a similar bed at IKEA and it is selling for nearly $700. I called Wayfair with a question about the price of this bed, which fluctuated daily, and was given additional money off to capture the lowest price it sold for.  If you don't like to spend much on upholstered pieces, this is a good choice
