The upholstery on this headboard is very nice looking. The only thing I don't like about it is that our mattress is not as wide as the headboard, so there is a gap between the wing and the bed where you end up seeing some of the metal legs in the back. It was very easy to put together, though. On another note, it works with a standard bed frame, but not with a low-profile bed frame. We had to drill an extra hole for our low-profile frame.
