First things first! This is headboard is SOLID and HEAVY!. (meaning "real" wood) The details are simply beautiful and for the price? The upholstered portion is a nice neutral that will go with any color palette. The price? WOW! You can't beat it. But now the downside! I went for the white and the headboard IS NOT white! Not any close! But, with a little sandpaper, painters tape and paint, I achieved the color I wanted. Still, I would buy it again! :)
