I love the look of this and it went together pretty easily. I was, however, very disappointed that it was missing one of the decorative brads in the headboard. It was near the top, so very noticeable. Since I have had the headboard for a couple of months sitting unopened in the box, just waiting for the pandemic to settle down so that my son could come over and help me put it together, I didn't want to wait again to have to return it and wait for another. So my son removed a brad from the bottom, which won't be seen, and replaced the missing one. It turned out well and I am less disappointed than I would have been, thanks to my son!
