The headboard arrived timely and in good condition.  It is very attractive and looks the same in person as it does on line.  The gold scroll work is not overly shining, so I can blend with other metals without conflict.  It is fairly tall, so keep that in mind as it makes quite a presence in the room. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the pre-drilled holes did not match with the mattress frame and we had to drill new holes to connect the two.
