Headboard came as a flat pack which was a surprise.. so a box of different lengths of thin, flimsy wooden pieces and a bag of screws. The headboard was sold as a stand alone item but when I read the instructions it was actually meant to be part of a bed frame…. Fortunately hubby is very handy and was able to put together, adapt and fortify to make it work for us. It’s ok for a spare bedroom but I wouldn’t have it in my main bedroom. Even at half price in the sale it was not worth the money. This was my first ( and last) purchase from Wayfair.
