Absolutely LOVE our new headboard. I wasn't sure from some reviews if it would be good, but it was a great purchase! (I think some people try to scare buyers off just to be mean or something)? It's a bit darker than I had thought it would be. It's more a medium color teal than the seafoam lighter blue it shows in the pictures. Luckily it's a pretty color, so we are keeping it. It is VERY sturdy, super EASY to put together. (Although being 5'3" the box it comes in it very long, but manageable. As a BONUS it comes with the extra headboard mounting bolts to attach it to a headboard. (We have a king size metal platform bed. Tge headboard is perfect height, and there is no gap between our mattress, which is one of the kinds that comes rolled up. O boxspring). The material is super soft and velvety feeling. I give everything 5 Stars, and I do reccomend this for sure. :)
