Amazingly easy to put up this headboard. You dont even have to move the bed, no holes, drilling, or screws required. It comes rolled in a box wrapped in plastic. Once the plastic is removed it rolls right out. The velcro strips on the back have velcro on one side and sticky on the other so the strips dont have to match up to any specific part of the headboard. This allows the headboard to be adjusted as many times as you like.
