The headboard itself is as described and is very heavy (solid wood!). I like the look of it a lot  It is actually a Liberty Furniture piece, which is a brand I trust.  If you want the footboard as well, head over to item# KFBS1080.  Trust me, if you buy both head/footboard, the assembly process will be much smoother!

If you get headboard only - note that the hardware and instructions for assembly are geared towards you getting both head/footboard and rails!! If you want to attach to a bed frame like me, then you will need an adaptor piece.
