We needed a headboard for our guest bedroom and didn't want something particularly expensive, but we also wanted our room to look refined and complete. It arrived in 2 days--awesome--and was in good shape. It wasn't particularly difficult to assemble, but the directions/labeling could have been more clear, and there really is no reason why they shouldn't include the hardware for attachment to a bed frame (or at the very least, tell you what hardware you need to go out and purchase--which, by the way, is four 8mm (5/16 inch) x 2 inch nuts and bolts, and 8 washers). Very satisfied with the end result.
