This is a nice headboard, but it's hard to assembly if you don't have the right tools or the right helper.  The screws don't quite fit in the holes and though it noted not to use an electric drill, we had to use one in order to get the screws in all the way.  The headboard is also a little short, so if you like to have all the nice pillows on your bed, majority of the headboard will be covered

Pros: the first one came in damaged and the company reshipped another one, really strong and hefty
Cons: wished it was taller
