Overall, this is a fantastic bargain for someone looking for a practical, storage-type headboard. The price ($178) for the king size was the best I was able to find for a storage headboard. It's particle board-type material, assembled like IKEA furniture. The instructions could have been a bit clearer on the assembling of the storage shelves, but really not a problem. The one thing that really needs caution is tamping in the dowels on the very top shelf of the headboard. Make sure you line them up and hand-guide them into the holes. I screwed this step up because I was doing it myself and had a hard time since it was king size unit. Only improvement I would make is to cut out some holes in the backer piece so that electrical cords can fit thru for a nice, clean look if you plan on putting a telephone or small lamp or electric clock on the headboard shelves.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have a black belt in furniture assembly. I have mastered the art of Ikea and I have rarely encountered a particle board that I could not whip into a sturdy glinting piece of furniture. But no matter how skilled you are at furniture assembly, there is just no escaping the fact that this item is shoddy, flimsy and abysmal in quality. In fact, once it was assembled, I immediately threw it out.The problem lies not in the instructions, which are idiot-proof. The issue is that the screws used to assemble them item are weak and lose their treads so easily that they can't be placed effectively. What's more, the particle board splinters and cracks so easily that its structural integrity is dubious at best. Moreover, the fake wood finish scratches off so readily that your item may very well be scarred and ugly by the time you get it put together.So, yes, I succeeded in assembling it exactly according to the instructions. But the materials were so weak that the headboard was too rickety for me to consider keeping. I would have had to sleep underneath it every night, in fear of being beheaded when it finally decided to collapse. Seriously, I had to throw it out just to avoid a terrible, bloody, particle board-induced death.Do not buy this item for anyone you love, including yourself. It may, however, make an awesome gift for your arch enemy.

Easy enough to put together, and all the pieces were there including a few spare screws and what-nots. The top piece seems to be actual wood rather than pressed, so that's nice. It's all pre-drilled in the correct places. The only part NOT pre-drilled is the part where you actually attach the headbord to your existing bed frame---again, very nice, since that may vary from frame to frame. All in all I am very pleased with this headboard. And, as an aside for which I have no explanation, my bedsheets seem to stay in place now, where with just a bed frame alone the sheets were strewn all about when I woke up. I am very, very pleased with this piece.
