Very impressed with the quality, workmanship and appearance of the headboard. The color is a light gray as indicated and it goes well with my gray walls.
Haven't yet tried to put it together. I received it quickly--about 2 or 3 days after I ordered it.  It was delivered earlier than estimated.  However, the delivery person just left it on my sidewalk. Luckily I found it there.

All in all I'm very impressed with my purchase and would recommend to others.
