I picked this headboard mainly because the color looked so awesome in the photos and I wanted a strong piece in my room... I was a bit nervous though because sometimes the color in the photo displayed is not exactly what the product looks like in person, but I was soooo pleasantly surprised because it looked so true to the photo! I got the dark teal just in case your wondering and I am very pleased. Not only am I pleased with the accuracy of the coloring I love that the product shipped so quickly. I was watching and tracking the item and it wasn't supposed to get here until a monday but it showed up on the saturday before so I was able to get it up before I had planned! This was the first time shopping off wayfair but it definitely will not be the last!
