Looks good. I've used Tabco panels too and also have been satisfied with both quality and price.

What size is the panel? And is shipping, at least to your place, what you would call "reasonable"?

A quickie heads up that I hope you don't have to worry about. I have had a couple of replacement bed sections that were not exactly the same,factory spacing on the ribs. So if you are replacing a section the FULL LENGTH of the bed you would be o.k. But,if you were putting in ,say, a 1 or 2 foot section SIDE to SIDE ,maybe up near the headboard, eventually the new ribs would start to be differently spaced than the originals. A royal pain . I don't believe the ones I encountered were Tabco. They usually have pretty good stuff. Gary
