LOVE this headboard. The picture color is rather true to what it is, which isn't quite blue to me. It's more of a green blue. BUT it still worked perfectly for my room! It is probably a 2 person lift to move the box around when it arrives, but I managed it on my own. Was easy to put together, and while I haven't yet secured it to my metal bed frame, it's sturdy enough as a freestanding headboard. The quality is great and definitely classes up the space but is a great soft look with the upholstery.
