I purchased the queen size grey linen headboard about a month ago.  It is very simple, modern and somewhat classy.  I love the grey color and the tweed looking fabric.  It fits very well on the queen frame and it was very easy to attach it myself.  There are no funny smells coming from the fabric.  You can smell the wood that is attached to the headboard, but I don't mind that.  It only lasted for a week.  Overall, great headboard!  I'm just relieved that my husband loved it too!
