My son wanted a larger bed and to still have a faux leather headboard like the one he already had.  We ordered the brown color.  It almost looks black. It is more expresso than brown.  The headboard has a little bit of a smell but I think that will go away with time.  It was a good price compared to other sites we checked.  It really does not look like leather at all but he likes it so good enough. 

Pros: easy assembly
Cons: color is darker than expected
