The headboard itself looks exactly as shown in the customer pics in the reviews.  Its very pretty, sturdy and well made.  However, it was not as easy to install as it says it is.  Starting with one of the legs, the holes were not aligned correctly and it took several times to get the screws in.  The second leg went in beautifully.  When attaching to the basic queen bed frame (fairly new) we had to drill another hole.  If you have a deep mattress, you will need to drill 2 additional holes.  AND they do NOT include the necessary items to attach the headboard to the frame so be prepared in advance with those, as wells.
