You can't tell from the picture, but the beige fabric, at least, is a very loose weave - think of a woman's linen shirt, but even looser. It doesn't really go with the quilt I use because of the fabric, but it would cost too much to return, so I'll keep it. Also, as other reviews noted, there are no nuts to fasten the included bolts with to get the headboard onto the bed. The metal legs are cheap-looking. Would not buy again.

Pros: Lightweight, I could carry it upstairs myself
Cons: Fabric is a very loose weave; missing parts necessitate trip to the hardware store; metal legs show and are cheap looking.
