Sometimes you get what you pay for. I knew these would be of a cheaper quality due to the price however the assembly was very painful. The holes weren’t properly drilled into the headpiece for the side pieces to fit. My poor husband ended up gluing it together. He wasn’t very happy with me. He said “next time don’t buy something so cheap”.  I bought two and one of the headboards had a mark where the cherry stain was not properly applied. So it’s many shades lighter than the rest of the board. Oh well. I wanted to return it but my husband already tried to make them work by gluing them together so that made a return impossible.￼￼ He says if the gluing doesn’t work we’ll just throw them in the trash. Probably where they belonged anyway.￼. A waste of a couple hundred bucks….
