The description for this product says " Fully upholstered in padded faux leather,"   even the Upholstered sections says "Upholstery Material (Black / Faux Leather Color / Upholstery): Faux leather".  What we received was not faux leather, it was a gray cloth material. 

With that being said.  We kept the headboard because we like the look of the fabric used.  This piece looks great in our room. 

Pros: great value
Cons: the description of fabric was not correct.
