This headboard is exactly what I was looking for. The color (compared to my sheets) looks a little darker than the picture although I have the similar light grey as the photo shows. Other than that, the assembly was easy, but beware that your frame needs to have holes, not slits as you will need to attach via bolts/screws. I did see one area where the threading is loose but that could have been my doing when moving apart the bed. Other than that, the height can be adjusted for those who have high sitting beds as myself. I wouldn't recommend for a platform bed as it may look just a little too high, even on the lowest adjustment. Hope this helps!!
