Headboards

We are very happy with this headboard, especially for the price. It took us about 3 hrs to assemble. It's beautiful in our room and has so much space. We have assembled a fair amount of RTA furniture in our time. We had no trouble with the instructions on this item. [...]It's not completely out of the question that one person could assemble alone; but you should have two people working together. One person can work ahead on certain steps to prep the panels for the other person.The "complaints" I have would be:1. There's one step where you attach two L-brackets. We did not find pre-drilled pilot holes to tell us EXACTLY where to put those brackets. We originally spaced them too far apart and then noticed they didnt pull the front panel flush as they should have. So we had to take them out and put them on again. It was not easy and took a lot of time to deal with these brackets. It was one step in the instructions that said it would take 2 minutes but it took more like 45. Maybe we missed the pilot holes but I dont think so because we looked closely.2. There are no holes cut in the back panel that you can put electrical cords through. This seems to be common on almost all RTA headboards recently (this king size one is the fourth one we have purchased since 2007) and I dont know why. Where is the cord for your alarm clock supposed to go? On other units we purchased, we used a keyhole drill bit to cut our own holes. On this unit, we had an innovative brainstorm and decided to LEAVE OFF THE BACK PANEL COMPLETELY. It looks GREAT this way because we just painted our walls and you see the nice color of the wall in the squares of the headboard and there is no trouble with cords.3. When we put the top panel on, we could not get the black pegs to push down flat into the center upright panels. You cant tell because of the trim piece on the front, but it was annoying that even when my husband sat on it, the panels wouldnt snap together as they should. I dont know what causes this - some error we made or the holes not drilled right, etc.Other notes:1. You should take the time to sort and count all the pieces before beginning. It really helps - not just for this item - you should always do that when assembling anything.2. From our experience with the three other RTA headboards we have (another Prepac and two SouthShore) you definitely CANNOT let water stand on the surface. If you're in the habit as we are of having a cup of water by your bedside, you need to keep the cup on a plastic tray or coaster or something like that. Continuous contact with water/moisture will bubble and degrade the surface.3. Do heed the warning in the instructions to not pound the black pegs in too deep or they will crack the top surface of the headboard. We made that mistake on the white Prepac headboard we own, so we were very careful with this new Cherry one when we did the pegs.In closing, we would recommend this headboard. It's stable and not wobbly and looks great."..."  Read more

My daughter has been looking for a headboard since 2007. She moved to another state and lived there for 2 years and still could not find one that she liked, so she lived without a headboard. She is very particular, and could not find a headboard that she liked. This headboard was magnificent when you see it in person. I bought it for my daughters Christmas present and she was blown away. She said she felt like a princess when sleeps in her bed. The headboard looked just like it is in the photograph only better. We had no problem attaching it to the bed...it was so easy. If you are looking for a headboard that screamed elegance......this is it, and the price, you just cannot beat it. GO FOR IT!"..."  Read more

We purchased this headboard (stained in maple) for our master bedroom a couple years ago. And we purchased the same headboard for our guest bedroom a couple weeks ago. This headboard is solid pine (no composite board or veneer), which makes it a lightweight and good-quality product. This headboard is also a low height, so it doesn't dominate our smaller-sized bedrooms. We highly recommend this headboard."..."  Read more

I am very happy with my headboard purchase. It looks great is exactly what I was looking for. The material is really pretty (kinda like a brushed silk) looks hi-end the nail heads are done really well. Since the price was so affordable compared to other upholstered headboards out there, I am kinda picky, I wasnt expecting the workmanship to be as nice as it is. I was hoping it was, but you never know when ordering online. But I have to say that this headboard is so much better than I expected. It looks so good in our bedroom. Great look, great price, attached easily to the Edge Premium Headboard Frame that we also purchased from BedroomFurniture.com I definitely recommend it."..."  Read more
