I love this headboard.  It is very pretty, strong and sturdy.  It was easy to put together by myself.  It looks great with my existing medium dark brown wood furniture.  I chose it to replace my large full/queen wood headboard which did not fit in the space in my new home.  This one blends in very well with the other furniture and fits perfectly due to its smaller full size width and compact styling.  It is exactly the width of a full size matress and does not extend out wider on each side like my old headboard did. The only thing that I was a little disappointed about is the color. It looks much darker than it did in the photos.  I was expecting a more brown color.  In the light in my home, it looks almost black with antique bronze accents.  However, I still think it is beautiful and I am very happy with my purchase.
