I'd really give this a 4.5 stars, but thats not an option. This headboard is exactly as pictured, which is great! The only small thing is that it does not line up with my bed frame, so at the moment it is free floating. I will have to get some zip ties to connect it to my bed. It does raise up and down which I like! You won't be disappointed in this headboard and you will get exactly what you see. It looks great in our primary bedroom, but wish it connected to the king bed frame so it wasn't wobbly.
