This was exactly what I was looking for--an elegant metal headboard to match by basic metal frame, but with a large upholstered panel for comfort. I wish the color of the fabric was a bit closer to off-white, but it's neutral enough that it still looks great. The metal seems like it scratches super easily and visibly, but because it's sort of rustic I'm not that worried. It was easy to assemble and attach to my bed frame alone with nothing but the included allen wrench.
