Awesome TALL headboard.  We love this headboard!  It is the tallest we could find for the $ and it makes an elegant statement in our bedroom.  Color is true grey-no taupe or brown tones.
Easy to assemble and attach to our bed frame with the hardware provided.
The fabric is a slightly course linen look without a sheen-just as pictured.  Overall padding is plush and comfortable without an overstuffed look.
Recommend without hesitation!
