Sauder Harbor View Full / Queen Headboard with Painted Antique Finish

I have researched and looked for a headboard for a long time now and decided to go with this one because I like Sauder. I bought a platform metal frame from Amazon as well and kept reading about how it's difficult to attach headboards. This headboard seemed heavy and solid enough not to worry about that issue and I was right. The headboard fits perfectly behind the bead and no brackets needed. It is solid all the way to the floor and heavy and sturdy.

First of all I am really impressed with this headboard. It is very heavy (about 95-98 pounds)but I was able to put the entire thing together myself and I am a 5'2 female. I used my bed as a work-space and kept rotating it without scratching it. I only needed help with the lifting part when I was done.It took me about an hour and a half, maybe less to assemble it because of the weight. It was very easy to understand and the pre-drilled holes were perfectly lined up.

I know I always look for information on wood types, so I will let you know what this is. It is not solid wood except for the posts. It is engineered wood, but very well made and what I come to expect from this company. I have a Sauder entertainment center that is well over 12 years old and it has been moved 3 times now and still is as nice as it was on day one except for a few dings from moving, lol. I expect this headboard to hold up the same because of the solidness.

The finish is more satin and the color is a very very dark brown, NOT black. It looks old and antique and reminiscent of wood shutters on an old house. I have been so in love with the color and the distressed look, I am redoing my older dresser and nightstand the same color.

Summing up, very solid piece of furniture, easy assembly, very pretty. Beware of the weight & what frame you have; mine is a platform metal frame from Amazon and I did not need brackets at all. Solid and heavy enough to sit by itself behind the bed and doesn't move.

Sauder has come a long way, the product was well made and easy to put together, no problmes at all...
