It came on time but instructions weren't very clear, the pieces weren't numbered, so we made a few mistakes and had to take the headboard apart a few times. It looks exactly like the pictures but it's not the most sturdy. When we were inserting the screws some of the particle wood would slighty crack and the paint would slightly chip. One of the pieces was stained, we tried wiping it off but not all of it came out. We had a 14" mattress and it reached to the bottom shelf, if you want the bottom shelf to show you will need a thinner mattress.
