This headboard is a perfect match to our vintage pieces, down to the color and trim. The wood is solid, no particle board or veneer and the only  "pieceing" is on the side boards near the curve, which is only visible from the sides. Their are wood medallions at the top of the curve and two rows of molding at the bottom of these board which add some dimension . The medallions could easily be brushed with "gold leaf" paint.
Most importantly, the hardware and predrilled holes were aligned perfectly and went together in a snap.  The piece is very heavy so plan on a helper. Placing it atop our bed for assembly made the awkward task easy.

Pros: Just as expected, great value and quality
