Such a nice, thick, rich material covers this headboard. Much nicer than expected. Purchased the sky blue and it is a beautiful soft blue. This is going in my daughters' room in a condo overlooking the water and I nor my girls could be happier with this choice! For an adult bed, high ceilings or something like a king size I would go with something with more height. This headboard is not very tall. Look at your height dimensions. My girls' room has high ceilings so we are balancing this out with a tailored canopy in all white and lined with a blue ribbon that matches the head board. Also purchased mirrored side tables to pull out the silver nail heads. Really...couldn't be happier!!!!
