Hebden Upholstered Headboard

I purchased a wall-mounted Tasse headboard which was reduced in height from 102cm to 60cm due to a sloping wall above the bed. It's a high-quality item that greatly enhances the bed and bedroom. I'm very pleased with it. I've given 4 rather than 5 stars because of shortcomings in the cleat fixing which is used to secure the headboard to the wall. The fixing itself is a good idea, but it was too far recessed into the headboard to allow the top part of the cleat (fixed to the headboard) to hook onto the bottom part of the cleat (fixed to the wall). This is either an oversight in terms of not using a thick enough cleat (these are made from MDF), or the company's expectation is that you loosen the fixing screws on the cleats to get the extra depth required (8mm in this case). The latter solution is a bit of a bodge to my mind and not ideal (or perhaps safe) given the weight of the headboard - I'm not even sure that it would have worked. I therefore thickened the cleats by cutting and fixing an additional 9mm of MDF to each cleat. Doing this added time and expense to the job, but it did mean that I didn't have to loosen screws to get the cleat engaged and the headboard tight against the wall. If you instead loosen the cleat screws, then the top and bottom parts of the cleat will not be in contact with the headboard and wall respectively and, as I say, that is unsatisfactory in my view.

Excellent

Good quality. Even modified to my specification
