I just put this together and placed it behind my bed. We have not attached it to the bed frame yet because we do not have the bolts for it yet, but it seems ok just shoved between the wall and the bed. It is well made and was shipped very protected. I got the grey color. The color is more of a grey-brown color to me and less of a silver-grey color. That's ok because it matches my furniture a little better, but if you're looking for a grey grey or a more silver toned grey this isn't it. It is a beautiful headboard though. The nailhead trim looks great and looks well done. I am giving it four stars for the bolts not being included and the color.
