I was nervous to order a headboard online but this turned out to be a pretty good purchase for the price. I was like all of the other reviewers and had a hard time figuring out the color of the headboard. I ended up going with sand because the reviews all said that it was more gray....while it may be more gray in comparison to the beige one on the website, I definitely wouldn't call it a gray headboard. It is more of a dark/deep khaki that if you put something gray with it I could see how it tints a little more gray. Overall I am really happy with the headboard, especially for the price! The only other hiccup I had was that the box came delivered with a bunch of holes in it and normally that wouldn't be a huge deal, but it was raining and I couldn't get the headboard until after work so when I got home the headboard was wet in quite a few spots when I took it out of the box. For the most part it dried pretty well though, but that was a bit disappointing to see that it had holes in the box.
