So, imagine all the shelving & bookcases & things we put together these days that include those round cogs that must fit into those pre-drilled holes? Now, imagine all those cogs that fall out, loosen up, and NOT hold the product together. The reason why? Apparently, it is because the holes into which the cogs are supposed to fit are drilled too large. NOT THIS PRODUCT! Each section included precision drilling so that each cog fit snugly with no swivel, loosening, or ill-fit. Each peg, perfect fit. Each pre-assembled screw parts, fit precisely. The instructions were well illustrated, and took the assembler step-by-step. Yes, it is the fiberboard that all the assemble-it-yourself kits have these days. Apparently it was made in Britain or Denmark or something, where precision means something. Highly recommended if you are looking for this type of product. No squeaks, the bed fits against this bookcase headboard. Good bargain.
I'm not sure what all these low reviews are about. Let's get a few things straight before any of you potential buyers are dissuaded from purchasing this item. 1) YES, assembly is required. *gasp* Assembly is required for every piece of pre-packaged furniture you purchase. If you have half a brain and can differentiate between sizes, you can build this in about 90 minutes, so long as you get all your bits and pieces sorted ahead of time. 2) Again, it's PREPAC. You're not going to sail this thing in the ocean, you're going to put nicknacks on it. It does sufficiently well for what it is. Stop expecting so much! This is a really decent product. I really have nothing negative to say about this product. It showed up with no broken pieces and that's even after the poor UPS guy had to lug the thing upstairs to my apartment. It is somewhat heavy (84lbs. or so) so be prepared for that, and I'm going to cut a bit off the bottom so it will stay flush against my wall, but you can't expect the manufacturers to know who has molding and who doesn't. Overall a great product that holds all my things as well as my girlfriend's things.
Not super hard to put together but not easy either. Having a power screwdriver available would make assembly easier (it does say that in the directions as well). A couple of the pieces did not line up but does not show in front. Used with a full bed and would work equally well with a queen. This is in my college daughter's apt. bedroom because she needed the extra space for alarm clock, books, etc. I would recommend it just so the expectation is that this is not a fine piece of furniture.
The headboard is missing 2 major pieces and "Prepac" told me 2 weeks ago I would have them in 4 to 5 days. So far all I have is a bunch of junk lying in my living room waiting to be assembled should I ever get the missing pieces. On top of that several other pieces are all scratched up and will need painting after assembly.
This item comes in a very flat box. I assumed it would be a cheap, particle board item and it was. Not all sides were painted. I opened the box to find that the longest piece had been broken in two during shipping. The manufacturer had placed this fragile piece directly up against the side of the box. Upon calling the number on that box that said "call us first", I was transferred directly to India. Big surprise? The person on the phone spoke broken English and could have really cared less about my improperly packaged damaged product. Then told me the replacement piece would be there in 6-7 working days. Item may is o.k. but you are taking your chances with the packaging from this manufacturer. So if you order this product you may want to allot an extra week before you really get a chance to put it together. The headboard is so so. I expect it to hold up about a year or two.
Took a little bit to assemble it. Did it by myself and I am 70 years old. Really too heavy for one person but I managed. Next time I will call for help. Looks great, lots of shelf space.
well built & designed for particleboard - price good - fit my space
I would recommend this headboard to anyone with a smaller room looking to save space. I purchased it for my 10 year old son, and it looks beautiful in his room. The abundance of shelves allow him to put his books, trophies and trinkets without needing additional shelves around his already small room. I like that the bed doesn't attach to the headboard...it just pushes right up against it. The unit takes some assembly...took my husband and kids 2 hours to put together, but if you've assembled pieces before, it's not a big deal.
Excellent. Much easier to put together than most reviews said!
Purchased this headboard for our tween son's room to go with his full size bed. The headboard fits up to a queen so there is a couple of inches sticking out on each side of the mattress. We were aware that this product was made of pressed board and that we would have to put it together so no suprise there. My son and husband had it constucted in about an hour and my son loves all the cubbies. The first night he used it he put a glass of water on it and the finish bubbled a little. I should have known better and as a result I had a piece of glass cut for that shelf so it won't happen again. Overall and for the price we are happy with the headboard.
