Headboard is well made and sturdy. More cream than white.  Super cute! Head board was easy to put together HOWEVER, attaching the headboard to the bed supports was more difficult. The suggested ‘buy with items’ bed frame and brackets.... we bought the low bed frame and it doesn’t support the headboard very well. My husband had to run to the hardware store and pick up some different brackets and screws to stabilize it.  It took some work.  The brackets suggested with the head board did not fit at all with the shorter bed frame.
