It looks very high quality, a great deal for the price. It definitely looks lighter in the stock photo but it's a very nice grey (slightly heathered, with different light greys). I only gave it  4 instead of 5 stars because it seems to tilt forward a bit- the wooden legs are in the back of the headboard and they're flushed with the wall, but then there is a gap between the back of the headboard and the wall.  I'll play around with a way to secure it and I'd still buy it again.
