This headboard doesn’t look as I expected but I still love it. I have been wanting an upholstered bed frame forever and could not be happier. It took almost two months to receive it but it was worth the wait. It has a gray and white pattern and has almost a chenille texture to it. It’s very soft to the touch. It sits pretty low to the ground and makes it easier to get in and out of the bed. I like that the headboard was higher than expected so that you can still see it above my euro shams. 
It is very sturdy and well made. Assembly was about an hour.
