This headboard does have more of a sparkle than I was expecting, but overall the color is nice and it is a beautiful design. The leg attachments do not fit into the main frame well at all (too big) so it's not super stable, and the assembly instructions don't seem to match the actual product. However, once it was assembled and put in place, the bed itself seems to hold things together well enough. Overall I'm happy with the look of the headboard and think it's a good item for the price.
