Headboard arrived in good condition and was not too difficult to put together.  The wood is solid and looks very nice.  However, I thought the "espresso" color would be more of medium/dark brown, but looks more "black" in color.  I will now need to get another end table to match as the medium oak table does not go well with the headboard.  I wanted a simple, clean look for my guest room and this headboard is perfect for the space!
