I'd like to know how this would attach to a bed base (ie not a bed frame). Has someone done this and if so could you post a few pics of how it connect

There are two steel channels about 4 ft long that bolt to the back of the head board. At the bottom of the channels there are two holes on each side that attach to the bed steel frame. All the hardware comes with the product. Just make sure that your frame that holds holds the box spring have the holes to hold the head board channels.

Yes- the easiest/simplest way to attach is with the bed accessory rail system and attach it to the adjustable tie downs

we did not install the headboard directly to the frame of the bed but instead we attached it permanently to the wall behind the bed. on seeing the results, one would never know that it wasn't attached to the bed. if this method is used, it is a good idea to use wood spacers between the wall and the frame, so as not to allow the frame to hug tight against the wall. if there are not wall studs to directly screw into, you can obtain screws with wall locking devises from a hardware store that will attach the frame securely to the wall.

Attaching to a bed frame is optional. It will work freestanding. Because of the way the slipcover goes on after assembly (slips on from the top) you might need to be creative in affixing it to a wall but it is possible.

That depends on the kind of frame. Mine only had one end that I could attach to, so I flipped it around, attached the bottom end, and then pushed the bed against the wall the hold the head board. Not the greatest, butnitnworks just fine and I have not had any problems with it.

Hi, a good answer is maybe.:) There are two holes to attach the adapter to your bed frame. My frame had the holes but if yours doesn't you could drill your own. I bought my frame at the same time and made sure I could put everything together. Good luck.

Annie -- it should work but wont have any thing to connect too-- just the weight of the bed will hold it in place. When it's on the metal frame in bolts on.

Actually, I don't think they make frames attached to headboards anymore. This is the 4th bed assembly I've put together (from 4 different companies) and all of them did not havve the clamps and screws to attach the frame with the headboard. however, i recommend this headboard to anyone because all you have to do is drill 1/4" wood screws into the headboard (using the frame's holes as a guide), and wha-la!! I've have my bed assembled for 2 years now, and it is the still sturdy as the day I assembled it.

I do not have mine attached to my bedframe. It is pinned to the wall by the weight of my mattress and boxspring.

I think the description of the item says there was no way to attach a headboard. I certainly did not see anything on this most basic of frames. I got around this by making an upholstered headboard which I attached to a wall with a "hangman" type hanger that can be found in your big box stores. My opinion is that the frame is too thin to be able to attach the typical headboard.

Yes it will attach to a metal frame. I am really happy with this I have had it over a year now. It's really pretty and adds just want you need to the bed

We used this to attach a headboard to a bed frame and have a very solid connection, very easy to use also. Hope this helped.

I used a bed frame and just a mattress it worked realy nice. But the holes didn't match up so I did have to drill my own holes on the bed frame and I drop the mounts on the head bord a few inches lower. With a electric drill was know problem. Hope this helped

Head board connect to existing bed frame or one you might purchase. Headboard was just that, only a head board.

i would not recommend not attaching to a bed. it is very heavy. too thick and heavy to attach to a wall.

No, these extenders allow you to attach a footboard to a bed frame that was not originally designed to have a footboard attached. (All bed frames seem to be designed to attach to a headboard, but not necessarily a footboard.)

i am sure it could be attached to a metal bed frame. it is not pre-drilled for it though. you would have to drill it to attach it. i debated about doing that. but i currently just have it against the wall with the frame against it.
