In the past I have made my own upholstered headboard, I am pretty good at DIY projects, but this one was not worth the time, effort and money saved. I searched all around the web for a reasonably priced, nice looking upholstered headboard and I ended up purchasing the Modway Clique in Ivory. This headboard is beautiful and works perfect on my king sized bed. It is true to the photograph in color (ivory). There was one small glitch: I did have to drill 1 hole on each side of the legs to install it. My mattress has a pillow top and is thick therefore the headboard has to sit a little higher than average. Overall it was a great buy, I love it.
