I waited to write this review until I had my bed totally put together.  The headboard is just what I was looking for  a Shabby Chic look.  I did customize it a tiny bit.  Where the two screws on each side are and at the top in the center, I took a little eyeshadow brush and some guilded gold paint and covered them along with the top & sides of the headboard.  Added just a perfect elegant look.  Not too much and not too little.  Just Perfect.  I had just finished painting an old chest a chalk mint green with guilded gold handles.  Headboard, Chest and Quilt all blend together beautifully.
