This headboard was a great disappointment! It's not even an inch thick, the pre-drilled holes to attach it to the bed frame were grossly misaligned (and no it was not misassembled). The product we received looked as though it had previously been assembled and returned. The area around the attachment holes had chips in the finish and one area on the actual headboard looked chipped and repaired. For $140 you would expect at least a new product. I suppose we got what we paid for and it's not worth the hassle to return. From a distance, it looks ok but truly this is something for the kids room only. Adults need not apply.
