I was shopping for an upholstered headboard for my guest bedroom that was both attractive and inexpensive. I finally made this purchase in arctic grey, despite being concerned that the low cost would likely reflect the quality. However, it totally exceeded my expectations! Neither the quality nor the appearance were compromised by the price. It's an elegant yet inviting addition to an, otherwise, boring room! The fabric color is exactly as pictured, and the texture is soft while still being strong and durable. The cushioning provides just the right amount of sturdy comfort, and the tufting is crafted nicely and patterned in a desirable design. The demensions create the perfect background to highlight my white, yellow, and gray bedding; lengthwise extending slightly past my mattress border and upward reaching high enough to create a beautiful focal point that's not too high to appear grandiose, yet not too short to be hidden and underwhelming. The assembly is super easy and quick. Overall, it's one of my most favorite purchases! Jenn A.
