Absolutely love this headboard. Gives bed a classy finishing touch. I ordered mine in a gray fabric weave (that resembles fabric for a man's suit). When headboard arrived, it was exactly as pictured. Headboard is fairly easy to assemble but you need to be somewhat adventurous as there aren't any easy-to-read steps. Frame has wood feet to stand alone from bed or holes for attaching to metal bed frame, and the flexibility is nice. Headboard seems very sturdy. Tufting detail gives a nice, updated appearance. If you are planning to attach it to a bed frame, having another person help line up holes, etc. is essential. I am very happy with my purchase.
