This headboard is just as pictured, and was easy to put together.  I ordered the beige, and it is just lovely!  I only gave 4 stars because there are bolt holes in the legs that are still visible after I attached the headboard to my metal platform frame...it isn't enough to make me want to send the headboard back, but I have to figure out a way to disguise the holes.  Also, there is no hardware included to attach the headboard to the frame.
