This headboard was out of stock when I first tried to order it in king size. But I signed up to receive notice when it became available again. It actually came back in stock sooner than they originally said it would. It was worth the wait. It's a beautiful true black with a velvety softness. I was a bit confused by some of the other reviews that faulted this item because it did not come with hardware to attach to a frame, but the description clearly states that this is a wall mount unit. My husband said it went together easily. The only problem we encountered was that we could not stand the unit on the floor because we have a baseboard hot water radiator that runs the length of the wall at the head of the bed. So we cut the legs down and they now rest on the radiator. This enabled us to mount the headboard flush to the wall at the proper height for our bed.
