Is this headboard self-standing, or will it fall over without support? I have a platform bed that is not designed for an attachable headboard.

You are going to want to attach it to the bedframe. If you don't it will rattle everytime you get in and out of bed and eh hem... if you are getting cozy with your sweetheart. You have to put it together so make sure you have everything laid out and check for all finished edges before you get it assembled and find you have put one piece in correctly like I did :(

It is self standing. My daughters bed is not attached and has been great. She is a teenager so not so careful and there has never been a problem.

From everything I've read, I think a platform bed will be fine. As long as you have good stability underneath. I have just a regular box spring, and it works just fine.

The frame is independent on it's own. It does not have to connect to a headboard. The additional leg items that you see on the front of the bed in the picture do not have to be on the frame and not using them does not hurt the integrity of the frame. We didn't use them on our bed. So I would say that you should probably be able to get your look with a little bit of engineering.

Maybe if using the legs to do so. I do not have it attached to the bed but standing on the legs and have no problems with it moving. We have a ca ling head board. And it is not one of those new heavy mattresses and it still does not move. You might try that first. Sandy

No metal support in the middle, but I don't think that you need to buy one. The weight of the bed should really be resting on the legs of the bed frame that the headboard is attached to....not resting on the legs of the head board.

We have ours at the highest height- the headboard does not touch the floor and it IS a little wobbly. It's in a guest room that doesn't get used too much but we liked the quality of the wood and it matched our other furniture so we just live with it. I would not want someone to lean hard against it too much.

Can you adjust the headboard to make it not so high? I'm looking for a shorter headboard because The bed is in front of a window and I don't want to block it too much. Just want the headboard to show a little above the propped pillows. Thanks!!

You will need a frame for this, It is only a Headboard. they sell a frame and matching foot board separately for this headboard, or you could just use a regular frame without a foot board. that's what I did. hope this helps!

Yes, I think you would have to use a box spring unless you add extra slats for support. If you used just a mattress you would need a really thick mattress to reach the base of the headboard or else there would be a gap. I currently have mine with a box spring and mattress and it works well.

You can certainly attach the headboard to the wall using a portion of the leg that is out of sight. I wouldn't recommend leaving it freestanding unless your bedframe can hold it securely against the wall. Frankly, if I'd only wanted a wall-mounted headboard, I'd have made it myself using plywood, batting and fabric. It's an easy task.

I believe it is considered a platform bed, but you do not need a box spring. I don't use a box spring and it's perfect. You could use a box spring, but the bed would be kind of high then. I LOVE this bed frame and everyone who comes over and sees it wants to get their own! The only thing I'm not sure about, it's just been me sleeping in the bed. I am a little nervous about if it's strong enough to hold two ppl, but I have read the other reviews that say it's fine for two ppl!

The bed was for my son in college. He has no headboard so we didn't attach one. Sorry, I can't be of any help. The last I heard though, he does find the bed to be very comfortable.

Hi, I do not use a headboard so i can't say for sure but someone already asked this question. You'll find some of the answers connected to this product on the questions and answers section.

Nope, it works for me because I use it against the wall or agaings the bed head but you don't count with a support structure, this will tip over or not provide resistance.

Mine is definitely attached to the bed. Not sure if you can get creative and somehow mount it to the wall. It's a great looking headboard though!

Yes, should support him with no problem. You just don't want to move the bed too much once it's in place, because it's made to take the weight from on top. Trying to lift it from the platform sides will pull those sections right off the base.

Hi, unfortunately, this headboard is slightly too high to be attached to this platform bed.
