Works perfectly for the decor of the room. The headboard color is  whitewashed.  My pictures don't show the true color, they appear to be of a more natural color. There were more pieces to assemble then expected , but it took less than 45 minutes for one person to get it done.  It was a bit tricky to get things to line up.  The directions were drawings and added some confusion about which screws went where.  Once the assembly was done and attached to the bed frame the desired look is just what was wanted
