I went against my husband's advice and purchased this headboard in the dark grey. Before buying, I gave my husband several choices that I was leaning towards and he said this one just looked like it would be found at a cheap hotel. It arrived on time and I came home to find that my husband had already put it together, not only that, he LOVED it!  He said he was wrong and that it looks completely elegant. We both love the addition to our bedroom. The quality of this headboard is greater then we thought. The only con was that some of the holes didn't line up right when putting it together. 

Pros: great value, beautiful, good quality, arrived on time
Cons: a little difficult to assemble
