Sauder River Ranch Full-Queen Headboard, Sindoori Mango Finish

This headboard is beautiful and feels sturdy once assembled. Ready-to-assemble furniture can often end up feeling cheap and flimsy, but so far this headboard has been well worth it. There were no pieces missing, and there was no damage to the parts. Often there are misaligned holes, chipped veneer, exposed particleboard, and warped pieces with this kind of furniture, but to my relief I didn't have any of those problems with this headboard. I did not add the adjustable shelves that can be fit into the two sides because they made the spaces much too small to decorate properly. I estimate there would have been about 4 or 5 inches of space above and below those shelves, which is only room enough to display small trinkets on each shelf. Instead I left them out so that I could fill the entire length of the bookcase with books, and it looks impressive. If you choose books with neutral spines so that they don't detract from the headboard or feel too loud for the sleeping area, using a bookcase as a headboard can really help utilize space in the bedroom. But buyers need to know that if they plan to use this headboard as a bookcase, they'll need to leave the adjustable shelves out and even then it won't hold books that are more than about 10 inches tall. This headboard needs at least two people to assemble; some of the pieces can be awkward and heavy to handle, but that is to be expected. It worked very well to attach it to a queen metal platform bedframe. I only have two regrets: I wish there had been more color options, and I wish the headboard were a little taller. When the bed is fully made, the books are partially hidden and the bookcase looks a tad short. Overall, however, I love this headboard! It adds wonderful character to the room, and I love the way it grounds the bed and delights the eye while being useful for bibliophiles who always need more space for books.

As expected. The headboard was way to assemble. Works great with my queen bed Love the storage. This is my 1nd one. I also have it in king size.

Went together very nicely. Great and easy instructions and all hardware was there. I did have to order 2 replacement shelves as the white strip was on the wrong end but it was no problem calling Saunders and getting them shipped out. Extremely pleasant actually to talk to. It’s for my grand daughters bed and she loves it. While the full size bed that this headboard will be used on does work and the brackets do connect to the bed frame, I wish they made it in a full size only. Also I should have measured the height, as with the newer thick mattresses, the back shelves actually get covered over by the pillows. The height is included in the description so this isn’t a negative on Saunders. For the price it’s a nice headboard. Oh, I should say it was packaged very nicely and secure.

That it was very easy to but together and fit the bed and the finish match other furniture in the bedroom.

My bookcase headboard is fantastic | love it. My father recently passed and had one similar to this. I am a 67 year-old female and the product was very easy to assemble and I did it on my own. I placed my trinkets on there and it looks beautiful I am very pleased thank you.

Item is cheap and like cardboard. One end was severely damaged and no way to fix it. Very disappointed.

First of all, this headboard is not "expensive" and it does look nice. One person might not be able to assemble this unit as it does not stay together with the hardware that is provided. I read a review that stated the buyer had to use liquid nails to get the unit to stay together. After struggling miserably for some time with this unit falling apart, I made a trip to the store to purchase liquid nails. I made a mess with that and didn't have complete success with that. Another trip to the hardware store to get corner braces and screws as another attempt to keep the unit from falling apart. This finally worked. I gave it a mid range rating because of the amount of frustration to assemble the unit and additional trips to the store. I am happy with the way the unit looks and it will serve it' purpose.

Very good cost to benefit. Good looking after assembled.

To my surprise when I opened the package I noticed several missing hardware and I was not able to continue with the assembly process. Still waiting for Sauder reply.

Nos encantó la cabecera, tiene espacios para acomodar cosas, es resistente. Nuestro colchón quedó alto así que no lo fijamos (tiene unas piezas para ello) , pero aún así se mantiene de pie sin problema. Y tenía un espacio para adaptar un cargador que se tenía que comprar por separado, pero nosotros lo utilizamos para adaptar otros cables que teníamos.
