I ordered this headboard for my 6yr olds room.  I ordered the full size.  It came in very quickly and the box in perfect condition.  It was very simple to put together, took maybe about 20 minutes.  It attached very easily to the bed frame we ordered.  It is a little bit darker in person, like a linen color with a tiny hint of green. At first I wasn't sure about it, but realized the color was perfect because it will hide any dirt spots that may arise.
