Unfortunately my headboard arrived broken from one of the corners, but I decided to keep it since I’ve read comments from other customers saying that the return process is not great. No doubt that the bed looks very nice, but the quality just isn’t the best. It’s not very sturdy in my opinion so I had to add some additional wooden slats. Definitely needs a box spring. And if anyone is wondering, the ‘Ash Black’ option is a very nice dark gray.
