I selected the walnut finish. I was impressed with the ease it took to assemble. It is a durable solid wood headboard and it can be assembled to be set a two heights. I chose the lower one which fit beautifully in the desired space. It would have been nice to have it available in an oak finish to match the other furniture in the room. As the Wayfair ad says, "Wayfair, you have just what I need."
