Wow! That was my first reaction upon seeing this lovely, substantial, and well made headboard. I placed it behind the bed in my toddler’s room and it looks amazing. It’s very sturdy even though we haven’t mounted it on yet. We got the gray color and it’s a lovely medium gray ( I envisioned a slightly lighter color judging by the online pictures) but it is still a good hue regardless and works with our soft pink decor.
