This headboard shipped very quickly.  It arrived just as I hoped...white in color and nice solid wood.  We loved how it looked! Easy to put together.  The only glitch was that it was not tall enough for my box spring and mattress.  You might want to measure your mattress & box spring.  We decided to keep it and make a "French hinge" to make it taller and look the way we had hoped.  Just google "French hinge" if you are in the same situation.
