Bought this headboard to keep pillows & toddlers from continually falling off the head of the bed. We've a very large room with the bed angled kitty-corner - the headboard is exactly what it says it is - matte black metal. It is lovely - very unisex. It's not heavy...no one will mistake it for wrought iron, but no one/nothing has fallen off the head of the bed since its been installed and its sturdy enough for the price, so I call that success. Installation took two people, as we have a memory foam mattress on a custom wooden frame - someone had to hold it in the right place while the second someone attached it. Took 3 more people who don't sleep on the bed to agree on the height, but if your household is less involved it should be a breeze. For what its worth, I liked it so much once I got it installed I kicked myself for not getting the footboard too.
