This whole collection is quite heavy and well built.  It has somewhat of a masculine proportion.  It is wood with a fair amount of distressing in both the finish and the actual surface of the wood.  So pretty without being too feminine.   I would recommend purchasing the entire bed rather than just the headboard.  We had issues with connecting this head board to a metal frame.  The pre drilled holes were positioned to low making the headboard lift off the floor.  it is very wobbly.  should sit on floor.
