This is a nice headboard but do not let the name fool you.  It ia NOT made out of oak but a type of light colored mahogany.  Also it is made up of many pieces of wood but spliced together nicely so it is only noticable to a close inspection.  Having been a carpenter for 40 years, I noticed it right off.  For the price, I could not make & finish it, so based on that I would say it is a good deal.
