The color is slightly different than the pic - its more like a very pale khaki in person. The material also has some texture to it, which isn't readily noticeable in the pic. Looks really good with my dark wood furniture and its neutral enough to go with almost any color comforter. Only negative is that the wood legs don't feel quite as sturdy as I'd like, plus it was really hard lining up the holes in the legs with the holes on the back of the headboard. Otherwise I think it was a good purchase.
