I got the black one and it is just like the picture. Just a friendly hint if you want to order this: so many parts are organized on the back of the headboard, and that is the reason why it feels so heavy. we carry it to the second level of the house, up the stairs, and we had so much difficulty since it was heavy, then we noticed we could have opened the back of the head board and emptied it first so made it lighter and easier to carry.
