It was fairly easy to put together by little old me alone. Thankfully fit perfectly (!) beneath my antique piece from Harvard law school! I’m glad I chose the black because it blends in well…. I think I need to paint that one wall a darker color, though.

This headboard is so well made came perfectly wrapped. The black is a beautiful color to accent my grandsons bedroom. Easy to put together and at a fantastic price you can’t beat it. Wayfair has great customer service you won’t be disappointed

it is fair. not great, but fine. it is free standing. I purchased the black version. somehow slightly darker than I imagined or I thought based on the image. it is stable, freestanding. it was well packaged. it also is what it is, a fairly cheap flat pack headboard. honestly, there didn't seem to be a lot of good options for dark headboards. the downside, the directions weren't that great. thankfully the piece isn't that complicated to put together. there are exposed 1/2" fastener heads they want you to place stickers over; this is inside the bookcase portion. I thought that was on the chintzy side. On the outside edges the fasteners are recessed into the thicker portion of the frame. they're saying here is this 1/4" deep hole, you can see the natural colored wood inside the hole, but here is a sticker to cover it. that doesn't work well. I feel like i need to find and cut a dowel to fill in the recess before placing the sticker. Even having a plastic plug would have been better.

Great little storage bookcase headboard for a twin bed. Very easy to assemble and it’s lightweight which makes moving it a breeze.

Looks really good and sturdy. Unfortunately I had trouble removing the stickers labeling some of the back pieces and tore the veneer off. The included "touch up" stickers helped hide it somewhat.
