I bought this headboard with the captain's bed for myself. It was a choice I made based on the size of my bedroom. I found the directions were ok. The print was a little small and there weren't any written directions, just pictures. I did find there was one error with one of the end pieces to the bed itself and had to pull out some of the pins and reverse their order from the directions. (When pulling out the aluminum pins, be careful, you can accidentally pull the particle board apart. I used a pair of needle-nosed pliers and wiggled them gently out.) I didn't like being without my box spring and with the box spring in there the shelves in the headboard were too low. So I jacked up the headboard by 7 inches and have blocks of wood under it for support. I took one of the knobs to my local paint store and they were able to match the paint color so I was able to paint the block (the one that shows) and I am also going to paint the edge of the particle board along the top of the headboard. Overall, it took me about 8 hours to do everything. I did 90% of this myself with only a little help adjusting its position after I got it put together. My biggest suggestion would be that if you end up doing this by yourself, to make sure you are putting it together where it will used. It's a bit on the heavy side with the headboard attached.I love the design and style of the furniture. My Dearly Beloved complained a little that it was not that sturdy, but I found it as sturdy and any other RTA furniture in a similar price range. The "Vanilla Cream" is far more white than expected. I truly expected a more yellow/golden tone. There was NONE. It is barely an eggshell. Be prepared for this. Otherwise the design and style is exactly as advertised and I am very happy with my purchase!Buy South Shore Furniture, Summer Breeze Collection, Bookcase Headboard 39" Now

I ordered this for my son to go with the bed. Its very nice, the only bad thing is that it came chipped about a quarter size, the good-thing is that I had some wood marker from a previous drawer of that same brand, that same color that I used and its not noticeable anymore.Want South Shore Furniture, Summer Breeze Collection, Bookcase Headboard 39" Discount?
I have this blue set in my son's room. It is so cute with the tan walls in his room. The headboard/hutch is adorable with the 3-drawer storage bed. It's a great set, especially for the price. It does take a while to put together (and I've put together two full sets of it, for my son and daughter's rooms), but you get what you pay for.
