Step One Headboard

The headboard itself looks great. The only flaw I could say is that after I attached it to my "metal" bedframe it still is not tight and solid. It moves too freely for me. Also there were no screws to use, I had to purchase those on my own. Now if you have a wooden bed frame maybe the headboard might fit tighter so it won't move as much. But overall I'm very happy with how the headboard looks and will solve the movement problem down the line.

This headboard is gorgeous. The finish is beautiful, the style is elegant, and it's just tall enough to be commanding without dominating the room. It isn't particularly sturdy, though. BUT that was easy to fix.

Be wary of the screws included. There are two sets of 4 screws that are almost identical, and silly me got them swapped. I put the longer ones on the bottom of the headboard itself, leaving the too-short ones to attach it to the bed frame. Also, if you do what I did, you risk the screws poking through. So follow the instructions carefully.

Anyway, I realized that even with the right screws, it wouldn't be very well attached to the frame. So, I purchased a couple small L-brackets and attached those to the posts and the bed frame. Et voila, it is perfect!

Be careful to use the right screws in the right places, and consider using L-brackets for added stability, but it's a beautiful headboard!

Looked great on the website and the price was good, but I had several disappointments with this item. The headboard did not have all of the necessary bolts, several of the outside facing pieces did not have vanier so I had to manualy paint them, many of the outward facing bolts did not come with caps to cover the bolts. Poor quality, poor workmanship, do not buy this item.

packaging was fine, no noticeable damage as it traveled from east coast to west coast by UPS

instructions was the worst (relatively) of all the south shore furniture items I bought (platform bed, side table, 6 drawer dresser), illustrations are slightly different from the actual items, but it is simple enough to figure out

the design is bad, pretty heavy and tall, attaches using only 4 smallish screws to the bed at the bottom. It will sway a lot if not resting against a wall, I added some foam boards in between this and the wall to stabilize

it will probably not be advisable to remove and re-attach during moving since it screws directly into the particle board (I wished it had bolts and nuts instead)

I would probably just buy the bed if I had to do this again
