I recieve my item with in 2 weeks and essembly was very easy. The color is more beige than white and is linen material. The screws that would be used to connect my bed railing and headboard together are too big. So for now my headboard is pressed against my wall with my matress until I find smaller screws. In can tell that the material is changing color over time and a good material cleaner is needed. Also I notice a few loose strings from the sewing of the headboard. Overall I could beat the price for my head board and the quality is nice. I am satisfied with my purchase
