This was a little tough. The diagram was fine. But the parts of wood had no labels. We had to put all the wood pieces out & then figure which was which. The back thin piece has to be placed in exactly; we had to take it out after screwing in & then re-screwed in. This is not an expensive piece. It's a little cheap. But it looks great & is a nice headboard. We love it. Make sure that the holes line up.
