Full discretion, I am not sure if this is the exact headboard I purchased over eight years ago. However, it does look just like it! I went through my Amazon orders and had a hard time finding this exact purchase, which tells me it could have been purchased using another account. If in fact, this is the same headboard though (and it looks just like it) this headboard has served us well! Ours looks just as good as the day we got it despite its light color! Since it is time for us to upgrade from a queen to a king, we will have to replace this headboard. However, I still love it and am glad it will continue to be used either in my sister's bedroom or our guest room!
