The headboard is as expected.  I ordered the white and it is a pretty nice white color--much more white than off white.  It is a bit lightweight but its for my daughter's room and it works just fine.  The headboard does not sit on the ground when attached to the frame so the feet do not work but with the placement in the room, this is not an issue for us as they are not noticeable.  Did not come with directions but it was simple enough to figure out.  Shipping was very fast!  Overall I think it is good for the inexpensive price.
