This bed is for my daughters, the headboard is true to the picture and pretty good quality.  
Assembly was tough, with too many screws, bolts and hardware! We are used to headboards simply sliding into the slats or rails, this was pretty time consuming.  Also, once the bed was assembled, two hours, the headboard didn't match up to the frame!  It's leaning against the wall currently, until my husband is able to take a look at it.
