I have been looking for a headboard for a while.  I wanted something neutral in color to go along with a couple different bedding options and wasn't overly expensive.  This headboard is a perfect fit.  The color is true to the pictures (maybe a tinge darker, but not much).  It took a bit of elbow grease to put together, but I was able to do it by myself for the most part in just under an hour (needed help to attach to the bed frame, but that only took a few minutes).  All in all, I am extremely happy with this purchase
