This headboard is very sturdy solid mahogany wood. The legs are also very thick solid wood. 
Mine was a dark cholate brown color. It doesn't look like the light redish-brown one in the picture. However, the chocalate brown is very beautiful. I really love it. This is a fine piece of furniture. All of the bolts were also included in the package. It is a really good price for such a well made, sturdy headboard.
