Prepac Sonoma Traditional Full/Queen Headboard with Slant-Back Bookcase, Functional Tall Bookcase Headboard 10.25" D x 65.75" W x 55.75" H, Black, BSH-6656

So I decided since I never buy anything for myself without massive mom remorse, that I would give myself a headboard. 41 years old and my first one. So I waited for it to come and it was super heavy to get up my porch alone. Drag it through the house to my room and start taking it out of the box. 2 parts were damaged marginally on corners but I fixed that fast with a black marker and wet cloth.Took me about 5 minutes to get all parts laid out and accounted for and positioned to use. Took another 2 hours to finish putting it together. Once complete, I pushed it against my wall a d got the bed in front of it. Crawled up in bed and sat back against it. Shew. It was hard work alone, but I got it. It can be attached but I have a platform bed that takes a special attachment I didn't want so freestanding it is.It's a great way to make your bedroom look complete and for a great price. The only downside was the lack of instructions and lack of labeling. So I just looked at the pic on here and got it together. I'd recommend leaving it in the room with windows open for the first few hours. This thing stinks. It stinks like old wet wood and no I didn't get it wet. But after I opened the windows and let it air out, the smell is gone. Just a byproduct of all the pressed wood. If you have knocks, use a navy blue or black marker and immediately rub with a wet cloth and you cant tell where the issue was. Hope this helps someone on the fence about buying, as I'd buy it again.

Update: The headboard is put together and my daughter loves it. It took my husband and I a little over an hour to put it together. The end product is extremely sturdy, but due to it being made of particle board, I can see how folks would feel that this product is fragile. For example, I'm not confident that it could withstand a move to another house. All in all, I feel that this is a good value for the cost and would certainly buy it again.Just received the headboard today. Three days early even. I'll address some of the common complaints that I've seen in the reviews:1) The sticky foam. There is a foam piece that is wrapped in plastic that is there to protect the edges of the product. It was neither sticky nor left white marks or leave residue on the furniture.2) Arriving damaged. I inspected every single piece and none of them have been dented or scratched or damaged in any way.3) Quality. I'm not sure why there are complaints of quality? First of all, you get what you pay for. This headboard is less than $200. That's ridiculously cheap for such a large piece of furniture. Anything comparable in the local furniture stores ran between $350-$600. Yes, this headboard is laminated particle board. Please don't expect a solid wood headboard for less than $200.4) Sturdiness. These pieces seem pretty solid, firm, and not flimsy at all. Again, they are laminated particle board. They may crack and crumble if you overtighten the screws (that's why an electric drill is not recommended.) This box is very very heavy. Luckily, my husband was able to bring the package into the house for me, but I had to open the box and bring the pieces upstairs one by one. FYI, if you are not able to lift a large heavy box by yourself.5) None of the pieces are labeled. This is unfortunately correct. I had to go through and tediously match up each piece to the drawing in the instructions and label them myself.6) Ease of assembly. TBD. We have not actually put together the item yet so I can't speak to ease of assembly, but I will update my review with any changes.

Just got this yesterday, put it together in a couple of hours last night by myself. It definitely helps if you have a lot of floor space, which I did not have. I put everything together on top of my bed until it could be stood up, which was fine. The one time I could have used an extra pair of hands was when nailing the back onto it.It is very solid, despite being made out of pressboard. I did have one small accident and had a little breakage, but it's not structural and you can barely see it from the front. And it's in my bedroom so really, it's not like random people are going to be judging me on it.Some of the images in the instructions are a little misleading, but it's not rocket science. Take your time and the instructions are straight forward. I used a hammer and the little cordless drill I have that I use mostly for IKEA furniture and that was all I needed.Definitely pay attention to the helpful measurements they have here (in the product images). I have a low-profile bed and the height is perfect. If you have a super high bed you'll cover up the lower shelves with your pillows. If you've never used screw cams before (IKEA has them all over) then make sure you look at the instruction illustration for how to set it so the bolts slide in or you'll experience a lot of frustration.It does not attached to a bedframe, although with a little careful cutting and drilling you could probably get it too. I have 1/4 round on my moulding so it doesn't sit flush up against my wall, but again - a little careful cutting, or really, who cares? With the bed pushed up against it there is no movement to speak of.I'll probably cut a few holes in the back for charger cords.Someone else ended up using this without the back as a shelf in their living room. I could also see this behind a loveseat against a wall. It's nice looking.For the price I'd high recommend this purchase.

Looks great, solid, functional andexactly what I want and as it was described in the listing
