This headboard is good quality for the low price I paid. From the picture I thought it would be more of a shiny/velvety material but it's closer to burlap but softer. When I looked at the picture again I realized I just didn't look close enough or read the description very well. I still love it though. It shipped very quickly; I ordered it on a Monday morning and had it by that Wednesday afternoon. It was pretty simple to put together and the hardware came with it. It seems pretty sturdy and solid.  My mattress hangs off the box spring now about an inch at the foot of the bed because it doesn't completely fit between the box spring and headboard to make it flush with the box spring but it's not noticeable when the bed is made. Overall I'm very happy with it and would recommend it.
