The headboard arrived in perfect condition.   Clear, easy to read instructions made the build easy.  There was a moment of disappointment when I thought there were missing pre-drilled holes, BUT upon closer inspection, I found they were simply pained over - easy fix, just had to poke through the finish and voila!  It didn't take long from there to finish the job by myself.  Although not intending to attach the headboard to the bed, I have now decided to buy bolts to install it to the bed frame to facilitate a little more height and security and show a little more detail that for now is hidden by pillows.
There was a little bit of "off gassing" but it seems to be fine 24 hrs later.
Very happy with my purchase.  A nice clean classic look at a reasonable price.
