pleasantly surprised with the craftsmanship of this product. I searched high and low for many months for a simple headboard and this met my match.  The linen is the perfect "linen color".  I didn't use anything to hold in place as my mattress and boxspring pushed up against the wall seem to be working out just find. There are a lot of upholstered head boards to pick from but in my opinion it's a classic and not trendy look on this one.  Took a while (about 5 weeks) to get here but Wayfair kept me updated on shipping status and it wasn't an urgency on my part.  I love it!!! so glad I shopped around and made the decision of this one
