Overall, I love the headboard. Even though it measured correctly, it didn't originally attach to my Ashley furniture bed frame so I purchased a cheap-o metal one and it fit perfectly. I love the style, though it's much darker than I had expected. I thought it would be a more oatmeal color, but is more of a burlap color. It did not match with my gold quilted bedspread, so I had to order a new bedspread that would match better.
