This headboard is beautiful, just as described. It has the look of something much more expensive. The only thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars is that it isn't completely sturdy on our adjustable bed. The headboard itself is solid, but where it ataches to our bed frame (which was done correctly using the appropriate brackets) makes it lean if we sit against it. It's a wonderful headboard, but better suited for a standard bed frame. (We have a Rize2 adjustable bed.)
