Just received this headboard today, came in sooner than expected which is always a plus. I opened it immediately, even though we don't have our full bed yet, and it's perfect! I cannot wait to assemble it this next month. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the bed has very faint pattern on it of what looks like floral design. I thought it was at first made to look ever so slightly faded, but it turns out it's just an intentional floral design on the posts. Beautifully understated, so no worries if you're not the "floral" kind of person.
