Prepac King Size Bed Headboard: Stylish Espresso King Headboard with Bookcase for King Size Beds, Freestanding (81.5" W x 43" H x 11" D) - ESH-8445

This thing is solid! It took my dad and me about 2 hours to put together (he's in his 60s and I'm disabled, so YMMV), but it was pretty straightforward.The white finish is a little thin and fragile near the drilled holes, so be careful putting in the hardware - on mine, the screws hide the small chips/flakes, so no big deal.Make sure you study the pictures well and have the finished sides facing the right direction, or you'll end up like us, installing a piece upside down and drilling into the wrong side - oops!You will need two sizes of Phillips' head screwdrivers for the bulk of the hardware, a hammer, and an electric screwdriver to install the brackets.Overall, a nice piece. Heavy (about 70 pounds?), and feels sturdy, but we haven't moved it into place yet, so I can't speak to how it holds up to movement. Definitely recommend on look and feel alone, though!ETA: Moved it into my room, and it held up great. Just make sure you lift from the bottom part of the shelves and not from the top alone or it could come apart. A little wobbly when I put my pillow against it to sit up in bed, but my mattress and frame are tall enough that there's no risk of it falling over. I would definitely attach it to the wall with those anti-topple brackets if you're using this for kids. Very satisfied, fits all my various bedside bits and bobs with plenty of room to spare!ETA 2: It's been 2 months and this thing is still solid. Still wobbles when I put my reading pillow against it to relax and read in bed, but that's only because my room has thick baseboard that prevents it from sitting flush against the wall. I haven't noticed any cracking, scratches, or dents, and it's easy to wipe down if needed.

It was very easy to put together. I did it in my own in about 45 mins. It’s pretty sturdy and the quality of it is really good for the price. There were minor scratches on some pieces but you can only see them in certain lighting and they are minor. Very impressed with it honestly.

Excellent for an inexpensive headboard. Instructions for putting it together were easy to follow. It looks great and is so far very sturdy.

I read a lot of reviews so I was a little reluctant on the purchase of this king sized white headboard. However, I am 100% satisfied with the product so I thought I would share my experience. Shipping was faster than anticipated and thankfully no damage done in the process. All parts included and as described, as noted in other reviews no stickers explaining what was what but that was completely ok by me as it was very easy for me to figure out. This was much easier to put together than I thought it would be. It was also build a lot more sturdy and intuitively than others described. I do not think it will fall apart in the future and it could be disassembled if totally necessary. I do not own the matching bed frame that must be purchased separately. I have a homemade 3 drawer shelving unit with a piece of plywood holding up my king sized mattress. It's the purple mattress (don't recommend it but stuck with it) no box spring, sits a bit lower than most beds. This headboard was the perfect height for my situation, I could see others saying its a bit short but my biggest fear, the front board behind the pillow line was safe, it is long enough to keep pillows from falling through the back. That would have ticked me off and I would have had to add some white board below to remedy the prob. The shelfs are slightly weird for the size items I want to store but I am satisfied with them regardless as I have wanted shelfs behind the bed for YEARS now. I even drilled to holes into the bottom of the shelf, one on left and one on right side just big enough for an extension cord, now hubby and I both have power strips for chargers and such. Kudos to the guy who installed an actually power outlet/ box into the unit. I aspire to be that savvy someday. Wood is thick and though its laminate it has a nice finish. Top piece of molding makes it look sharp and not cheap. I do have base boards but mine didn't really get in the way of the headboard against the wall. I liked someones suggestion of using some felt pads to balance out the issue if it was to arise.It took me and my hubs a whopping 45 minutes to put this together! Not bad when I had read others spent up to three hours... not sure how that would even be possible but very happy it was a simple and enjoyable project for us. Directions are lacking in detail but if you have done similar projects I say follow your instincts and be sure to examine what pieces go where prior to assembling. Remember you are building it rough edge up. And that the top of the long piece for the head board as well as the two side pieces will be covered once you add molding at the final steps. I read the entire directions prior to starting and that made the project more clear. Good luck!

I like the look of the cherry finish headboard in our bedroom. Can't wait for adjustable beds to arrive to complete the look. It's sturdy enough though we were careful with the assembly as the finish can be marred in the corners. The company needs to work on assembly instructions and identifying slats alphabetically. The unit had to be taken apart once because one slat was put in backside front and had to be reassembled. Luckily we were able to put it together without any scratches or dings and in the end well worth it!
