I was amazed by the low price if this headboard and impressed by the quality when it arrived. It has nice clean lines, the padding is substantial. The fabric has a subtle woven pattern that gives it a high end feel. I have the ivory color with grey walls in our master bedroom. It brightens up the whole space. We set the height of the headboard do the bottom of the upholstered part goes behind the mattress a few inches. When we push the bed against the wall, everything is nice and secure
