Exactly how it looks in picture but even better.  Great quality, color and material.  Nail heads are a copper color and look great with the tan colored material. This looks like a very expensive headboard you would easily pay over $500 for in a furniture store.  We purchased the queen size and it was easy for my husband to install to the bed frame.  Shipping was fast and it arrived in perfect condition.  I can't say enough good things about this purchase...very happy.
