I LOVE my new headboard. It is the perfect shade of grey. The way my bed sits (super thick mattress) it is not very high, but I am okay with that. Do be aware, it comes with the hardware to attach the headboard to the rails, but not the additional hardware to attach to the bed frame. I luckily had what I needed already at home. It took me about 15 mins to get it all on and secured. It is just want I wanted and expected!
