The headboard is quite beautiful in person. I'm not sure why it says the color is described as Grayish Beige.... it is 100% gray. I saw the picture of the headboard which looks like it is on a full size bed and it looks very tall and grand (which is the reason I was drawn to this specific one). I have a king size bed and thought it would be taller and grand as well on the king size bed; however, it doesn't look much taller on the king size bed so I was a bit disappointed. It is still very cute but I just won't be able to use the tall pillows I originally had planned to use.
