The shape of the headboard is nice but nowhere on the description is it listed that the texture/color of the frame is not solid black. It has a very odd texture with some gray marbling on it. That sounds pretty but it isn't - I actually first thought that the plastic wrapped around it had somehow melted onto the frame so I was trying to wipe it off until I realized that's just what it looks like. 

This should be mentioned in the description and there should be a close up shot of the frame so people can see what it looks like. I don't want to pay $30 is shipping to return it so I might just try to paint it myself and deal with it.
