The headboard was attractive and a great value for the price point. Color is very accurate as pictured. If you are patient and organized by grouping all of the screws etc alphabetically, then the instructions aren't that bad, but it does takes a minute. The alignment of holes were a little tricky and we had to rely on some power tools rather than the allen wrench to get the screws in tight. Overall, it gives my guest bedroom more of a polished hotel quality look. Those who purchase should be pleased!
