I think it would be hard to beat this headboard at $90!!  I bought it in the pink which is the softest millennial pink and exactly the shade I was looking for.  Very elegant.   I was surprised that the uprights to hold the headboard in place were dark wood.  I guess I assumed they would be metal.  I could have missed in the description.  The wood is fine  - just a little larger than I expected.  But once assembled (which was super easy) you couldn't see the wood anyway.
