This was super easy to put together! I did it by myself in about 15 minutes! It was also relatively lightweight, so easy to carry and put behind my bed by myself, too. The packaging was really smart -all the parts/hardware were stored in a pocket on the back of the fabric headboard. The fabric also seems durable. It was exactly what I was looking for: the tufted buttons, the simple but elegant shape, a black queen-sized headboard for my bed!
