Packaging was good, assembly was not that hard, and the quality was great! I attached it to the metal bed frame which I also purchased from Wayfair (Hercules Universal Heavy Duty Adjustable Metal Bed Frame with Double Rail Center Bar and 7-Locking Rug Rollers.) It was not easy but it eventually worked! I am loving how my master bedroom looks with this headboard in it. I can't wait to get the dresser and the nightstands. As for the dresser and the nightstands, I purchased Carson Forge by Sauder. I wish Wayfair shows which furniture pieces customers purchased together. It is really hard to try to match pieces together not knowing how the colors and materials of each would actually be like in person. OVERALL: Great purchased especially when you got it at the sale price!!
