This headboard is just beautiful. Simple and well made. I added a little hand-rubbed refinisher in a medium oak color in order to go with the aged oak dresser that I recently inherited from my Mom. We have an adjustable king bed, so the headboard is hanging on the wall behind the bed by using a 42 inch "french cleat" type hanger and 2, 4 inch  bed raisers to make it the height I preferred. It was a little "pricy" but I just love the way it finishes our bedroom so it is worth it.
