I was hesitant when making this purchase, I wasn't sure how something so cheap (relative to other headboards) would look with the rest of my decor. When it came I was very delighted that the faux leather felt very nice, and has held up splendidly, not showing any signs of wear. The headboard included the hardware required to fasten it to a bedframe, and was an easy two person job, though certainly a single person could complete set-up without too much difficulty. The padding is very comfortable, and the design has matched my barcelona chair perfectly (though note that there are no buttons on this headboard like there are on a barcelona chair). I would have been happy with this purchase if it were $200, the fact that I got it for $100 just makes me plain giddy. Highly recommended.
