We love our new headboard, gives an entire updated look to our room. This headboard is heavy, seems very well made and sturdy. It comes in one very large box and the legs are all tucked into a zippered pocket in the back. Fabulous! It went together very easily. The one [very minor] downside is that this headboard is set up to attach to side rails/footboard.  We have the basic metal frame that holds the boxspring. While we could have drilled holes so we could attach to a metal frame, chose instead to sandwich in between bed and wall. It works great, comfortable to lean against to read and [altho not attached] does not move because its so flat in back it fits snuggly against the wall.  
We bought in the dark gray and it looks wonderful. I'd recommend this headboard to anyone, any color.
Fabric seems very durable and shouldn't need any more maintenance to keep looking nice than what I used to have to do on the old wood headboard we had before.  One more bonus- great price!
