What customers say
Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality and robust, solid wood construction of the Montana Collection headboard. Reviewers frequently highlight the authentic rustic design, noting that the natural lodgepole pine adds significant character and warmth to bedrooms.

Know before you buy
Because the headboard is undrilled, you will need to measure your specific bed frame's mounting points and drill holes into the headboard legs to align with your hardware. Alternatively, you can mount it directly to the wall behind your bed using a French cleat or heavy-duty wall brackets.
The headboard arrives sanded and bare, meaning it has no stain, paint, or protective lacquer applied. This allows you to customize the piece with a finish that matches your existing bedroom decor, though you must apply a sealant or stain before regular use to protect the raw pine.
Skip-peeling is a traditional technique where artisans use draw knives to remove the bark while leaving patches of the cambium layer behind. This creates a textured, two-tone appearance that highlights the natural character of the lodge pole pine and ensures no two headboards look exactly alike.
Yes, the headboard is built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is a hallmark of heirloom-quality furniture. This method provides superior structural integrity compared to standard screw-and-bracket assembly, and the piece is backed by a 20-year limited warranty.
No, hardware is not included. Because the headboard is designed to be versatile for various bed frames or wall-mounting configurations, you will need to purchase the specific bolts, washers, or mounting brackets that suit your particular setup.
