Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is going to be a somewhat long review since I'm going to provide information that I wish was available to me when I purchased the headboard. I mean, measurements are important, am I right?! I've included photos from the box it arrived in to the finished product. The box was surprisingly small roughly 32" x 25" and 7 inches thick. I wasn't tossing it over my head but I was able to get it into my apartment by myself, no problem. The headboard comes in 2 parts folded in half on top of one another with the hardware in the middle. each piece is wrapped in a plastic bag. I do wish it was wrapped a bit tighter because I'm always afraid of critters but so far, so good (knock on wood). There was a slight new fabric scent so if you have the opportunity to air it out for a few hours, I recommend doing so. That said, it wasn't fumey or anything unbearable. I ordered a queen headboard and it appears that the headboard may be also be used as a full headboard. That said, the headboard itself is slightly larger than a queen bed at a little under 63" so I'd imagine it would be a bit too large for a full bed. It does, however have adjustments for the legs so it *should* fit securely. The queen headboard measures just under 63" long, 24" high, and is approximately 3" thick. SEE. Was that difficult previous reviewers?! I kid. The two pieces are secured together by a large screw and washers and then again by two metal pieces on the top back and bottom back of the headboard. It's very sturdy. As another reviewer mentioned, one of the brackets came missing a hole but I didn't deem it necessary to drill another one as it was secured in 9 other areas and it was a middle hole. I own a platform bed so I knew that I wasn't going to secure the headboard to the frame itself and instead I set it on the overhang of the bed frame and sandwiched the headboard between the frame mattress and the wall, if that makes sense. See photos. If you are planning to secure it to a bed frame, as intended, the legs will screw in several inches from the edge of the headboard and the height is adjustable, which is very nice since mattress heights vary. Onto the fabric. As others have said, this really does look and feel like a thick linen fabric. It isn't soft or rough, it's just right and the beige/khaki/neutral color is very serene and classic looking. I believe it's as inexpensive as it is because it is open in the back with exposed screws, etc. They don't hit the wall or anything and are perfectly concealed once against the wall but I can only assume that's why it's offered at a discounted price. Aside from that, I really don't see how this differs from what you find in higher end stores. Not so far at least. :) I was a bit uneasy buying a headboard without knowing the dimensions first so I hope this review was helpful to potential buyers. All in all you can't go wrong with this price and quality in my opinion. **If this review was helpful for you, please click the “Helpful” button below.
