This just came today and was very easy to set up. It looks so lovely in our bedroom. We have dark red stained concrete and the color contrasts quite nicely. I ordered a wood platform bed to go with it, and although we haven't connected it to the bed or the wall, the weight of the bed frame with the bed in it seems to keep the headboard in place snugly. If we notice any movement, we'll probably either mount the headboard to the wall, or make new holes to attach it to the bed. I am VERY satisfied with this purchase, and it really makes a nice focal piece in our bedroom. I love having this high end look at a fraction of the cost. The picture is true to color and it's soft enough to lean up against without extra pillows. I love it!
