Wow. I love this headboard! I bought it for my guest room and was slightly skeptical to buy it without seeing it in person. I am so happy I bought it! It's beautiful and look more expensive than it costs! I am very picky when it comes to furniture with nailheads because if it's not done right, it cheapens the furniture. Well, it Is perfect on this headboard! I bought the taupe and it looks great. It took 3 minutes to put together. It stands alone or you can secure it to the frame.
