Good buy! Install a bit tedious.....but love the result!

I love everything about this headboard except the installation. Came in an approximate 12 inch by 5 foot box. The predrilled holes didnt all align perfectly. Some did, but others didn't. Had to take it apart twice and get a second set of hands to push together to help align the holes a bit better. It took about 3 hours to install (including the redoing twice!) And the wood is more like particle board (as you begin drilling that becomes more noticeable). But now that it is done, i love it!! It gives off a more expensive feel. Great buy for the price. A few notes... 1) It suggests laying on a carpet as you install. That is smart. You can see by my picture that the metal and wood did scratch from the tile floor. *sigh. I should be able to touch it up. 2) Also, they recommend using the foam that packages the product when installing the E and K boards to fill the space between the boards and the floor to prevent bending and possible breakage. I will tell you this, it helped with the power drill, having those boards level. So that was also a good suggestion in the instructions. 3)The stickers that labeled the boards (almost all boards have a sticker) peel off effortlessly. I wouldve given it 5 stars had the install been a little smoother. I really recommend 2 people.... 1 screwing and 1 pushing boards as tightly as possible together to line up. 4) Also, flashlight is probably needed. We used one to make sure holes were lines up. I do recommend this if you are looking for an affordable, higher end looking headboard. It does the trick! (Once you get past the install!)
