South Shore Furniture, Summer Breeze Collection, Bookcase Headboard 54", Vanilla Cream

We looked in so many area furniture stores for a FULL size bookshelf headboard-NO ONE had one. We know people who build furniture, but our budget didn't allow for this. We found this and it matches my daughter's room perfectly! She's an avid reader, so the bookshelf feature was a "must". She's 13 and put most of it together by herself !!!

Bought this headboard in combination with this frame Handy Living Full Wood Slat Bed Frame and are very pleased especially considering the amount of money spent. This was for a pre-teen and I suspect this will last through high school from a style perspective. Make no mistake this is particle board through and through; however, there's no reason it shouldn't last. It didn't get the fifth star because during assembly I made the mistake of holding the top, curved part of the headboard as a weight-bearing piece and it separated from the rest of the headboard. $6 later after a trip to Home Depot I was able to easily fix the damage.

Speaking of trips to Home Depot, I ended up purchasing six pavers or bricks that using three on each side was able to lift this headboard 6" higher off the ground. I'm not knocking any stars off my rating for this for the bed frame (above) was higher off the ground than your normal, bare-bones, 6" high metal bed frame (we wanted the storage space). Nonetheless, if you are using a basic frame with a box spring and mattress then you will be faced with the bed pillows being about the same height as the first row of shelves. Again, the pavers were an easy and cheap (i.e., $10) fix.

One last word on this product the "Vanilla Cream" color wasn't perfect white it is not any type of an antique color. What you see in the pix is pretty much what you get.

One part came broken but called and they had a replacement part in a week. It's a cheap headboard that should last just fine until my little girl grows up and wants something different. I am very happy with it. Does need to be elevated a little.

The instructions were a bit confusing at first but given I have done many of these projects I was able to work through the issues. Everything went together (not easily) to make a nice looking and solid piece of furniture. Unfortunately, due to the design, it won't attach to my bed frame (I have a platform bed) but with the wall as a back support and the mattresses as a front support with the frame itself, the headboard is not going anywhere.

Bought this for my 3 yr old daughter's bedroom with matching dresser, nightstand and mirror from same company. I was nervous given the other reviews but took a chance becuase I wasn't willing to spend a lot of money. However, after putting together the entire set I am a happy customer and would definitely buy again. Now I knew upfront this is particle board / mdf type material furniture but let's be honest you absolutely cannot buy solid wood furniture for anywhere near this price. It's well designed and a great value for the price. I've put together tons of furniture like this before and the directions were reasonably clear and well written & illustrated (available in English / Spanish / French). Took less than 1 hr per piece to put together. (The instructions beat the IKEA stick-man icons anyday as far as instructions go.) Overall I'm quite happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend for someone looking to buy a nice looking furniture ALL for under $500 with set including headboard, dresser, mirror and nightstand together.
