The first headboard arrived with no padding in a flimsy cardboard box and yes, it was badly damaged.  So I returned and re-ordered, but the second headboard arrived the same way - no styrofoam or other padding other than 2 little pads on the top corners in a flimsy cardboard box.  Badly damaged.  Manufactured in Mexico, shipped to Wayfair, shipped to me - all in totally inadequate packaging.  I've given up on this headboard.  At least Wayfair was helpful in the return process.
