We really like the headboard.  We got it in the white.  It's slightly ivory when compared to high-gloss white cabinets, but it's white next to cream furniture.  For the price it's fine.  The legs have a few holes so you can put it close to the mattress, or up higher.  The legs are a brown finished wood with 2 bolts for each leg.  We used it for a motion bed and we put it on the lower setting.  The bed had to be pulled out just a tad so the bed could go up and down.  It looks pretty modern.
