This is a very nice headboard.  Very soft and the light grey color is a perfect match for our bedroom remodel.  I was worried when unpacked because it looked dirty but it turned out it was just from the velvet being rubbed against the grain. Package was heavily damaged on one end by Fedex. Completely ripped open and foam and string taped to outside of box. But all contents were present and intact. To use that type of carrier needs stronger packing.
