This headboard is beautiful!! Changed the look of the entire room!  The gray color was a little darker than pictured on the site; but I was counting on that based on other reviews that I read. Screws/bolts to attach to the bed frame are not included...but a lot of extra washers. The black backing was torn from the packaging - so that could've been better. Just very happy it didn't damage the actual headboard. Very happy with my purchase and it arrived 2 weeks faster than I was told - at Christmas!
