I purchased this headboard for my son’s room. He wanted a soft headboard to lean up against to read in bed. This headboard has been serving that purpose! The only complaint was that the holes in the bottom that connect the headboard to the bed frame were a little off. We had to raise the headboard to make it fit, so it kind of bounces against the wall. Other than that, it’s great, charcoal color looks really nice with the black furniture.
