I love the look of it easy to install reaches a little past my bed on either side but this just makes it look more finished I was anticipating a whiter look next to my light gray walls but it seemed to pick up some of the gray- but looks fabulous I have only had it for a day so can’t speak to how well it will hold up My other headboard would hit the wall so far if it did it’s not noticeable because of the fabric versus wood
