We install two hooks to each panel. This is a 40 lbs capacity for a 11 lbs panel. It can hold up more than twice its weight. The hooks and nails are specially design for drywall or similar materials. There is no need to find studs in the wall in order to hang it. Compatible with adjustable beds.The panels are solid wood that we hand distress to give them a rustic, antique or weathered look. Because the panels are made from distressed wood, there will be some natural variations like knots or splits. Some boards might be even slightly warped. These aren't defects, but natural imperfections which add to the charm of your one-of-kind headboard.The only tools you will need for assembly which are not included are a hammer, pencil, and tape measure. Typical time to install is 25 min.
