Great chocolate color; pleasing shape. Wish the fabric were less shiny, as it has a "cheapness" to it as is. Still, great quality for the price. Simple to install and perfect for my bedroom. Walls are a couple of shades milkier than the headboard; white pleated bedskirt; four white euro pillows with two light brown neck rolls; a white quilted coverlet folded at the end of the bed over a brown and white damask tucked-in bedspread, with matching damask curtains (bamboo shades underneath); two, large oval gold framed mirrors; a pink iron chandelier and a pink wing back chair in the corner for reading. Perfect!! Feels like an elegant spa!
