We were delighted that the beige color was more oatmeal/natural in color and less yellow than it looks online. We have a standard King (not a California King) and were perplexed why the headboard was a few inches wider on each side than our mattress and frame. It couldn't be attached but is secure enough by pressing the mattress and box-spring up. If it wasn't priced so reasonably, we probably would have returned it, but instead we rigged the bed skirt to hide the excess width of the metal part of the headboard.
