I love the new headboard! the color is exactly what I wanted, a soft ivory on ivory damask - a liittle lighter than what shows in the display photo. It was a snap to attach. There was a slight chemical odor but since I had to leave for a few weeks, I went ahead & attached it & when got back home the odor was gone. It's a lovely piece that enhances my room & I will be buying more from . Thank you!
