I was uncertain about ordering this custom headboard because I could not get a fabric sample. I wanted to ensure the color would be pure white before I made the commitment to place the order, but after shopping retail, I realized that the price was too tempting to not to take a chance. I made the purchase without the sample, and now I can say I am not disappointed. First of all, my order came today, a month before the projected delivery date, which was a real surprise. I could not wait to unwrap it. This headboard is beautiful and the velvet fabric is good quality, pure white and soft. The nail heads are a pewter shade, not a shiny silver, which I love. It was easy to assemble (by myself, I am very handy, 5' 1' and 120 lbs but if you are not handy, do not have the right tools - I used a ratchet wrench and a flat-head screw driver and strong you may need another set of hands). All-in-all, it took me a total of two hours to get this standard king sized headboard inside my house, up a flight of stairs to my bedroom, unpack and attach to my bed frame. I am so happy with this purchase. I will update this post with a picture after I have painted the room. I am so happy with this purchase.
