This headboard was gorgeous online and I just had to have it. The soft white "velvet" texture is very soft to the touch, the brilliant silver nailheads line the wingbacks and look amazing, as do the tufted fabric. I will post pics just after the room is complete as most items was theirs. I gave four stars because the left wingback has a distinct black oil/grease fingerprint, I'm assuming this must have happened in the manufacturing place because every piece was wrapped in plastic.
