It arrived a day early and was just what I was hoping for--an attractive headboard with soft lines and enough weight to be able to lean against it.  It's about 3" thick and I like the height too. It can be adjusted and was easy to attach to our metal bedframe.  Note:  legs and hardware are taped to the back of the headboard. When it arrived I thought they were missing because the package was so flat.  Just look underneath. The fabric is a nice linen color and texture, with dark studs that gave our master bedroom a real lift.  I am very happy with this purchase, especially for the price.
