SauderRiver Ranch Full-Queen Headboard, Sindoori Mango Finish

I’ve purchased Sauder products before and this one didn’t disappoint! It is sturdy, very pretty and exceptionally functional for my needs!

This looks beautiful but together and works great. It was a bit of a pain to put together.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The price was good at the time. Putting it together was an adventure in itself. Somewhere along the years the company changed format in printing the instructions. If it weren't for the fact we'd built one before. The new set of how tos would have made me toss the whole blasted thing the scrap heap. BUT. I am super stubborn and sorted it out. Now my cats have a place to stretch out that is NOT on my head.Bonus points for arriving early,not damaged,and in one box. All parts were there and labeled.Words to the wise. Have some patience and find videos of the darn thong being put together. Use the written instructions to light a campfire.

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.

Slabs of dirty wood and the back is just flimsy cardboard. Have to nail the back on without a way to keep it straight and aligned. The size of the cardboard backboard is slightly too small, further exacerbating alignment issues. Does not feel sturdy or stable when putting it together; can see some of the screws bend out of shape when connecting middle two boards to left leg. All the tiny parts are sloppily provided in one bag, making it annoying to fish for needed parts; the first piece you need is the smallest piece of plastic mixed in with the nails.Not worth the effort it takes to assemble and clean up all the white debris it leaves on the floor.

First, let me say, the final side is tricky to snap together. I suggest you pull the pins out as far as they go. Then, angle the top in first, line up the holes, then push hard. It took me several tries but everything lined up well. As with all particle board products, do not over-tighten any of the screws. Snug is fine. I as suggest flipping the piece end over end at the step where you need to add the back. At this stage, the piece is flimsy and could fall apart,The finished product looks awesome in my home near the sea and I recommend it to anyone used to assembling their own furniture. BTW, I am 66 years old, and 5'5" and was able to do it by myself.

This is a full size bed. The full/queen size sticks out. Cannot be attached to the bed frame. I like the looks of the headboard and it is well made. Just wished it would fit better.
