i really like this headboard.  it's very pretty and it was super easy to assemble.  my 15 year old daughter and i did it all by ourselves (and we're not very handy).  my only complaint is that it is not a true gray color.  I'm not sure what i would call it, but it's not close to one gray color in the Porter Paint swatch booklet.  it's neutral so it blends but be careful trying to match it to shades of traditional gray.
