I have a king headboard that has square legs that are about 5 inches across. The headboard is very tall and heavy. Will this be secure?

Yes it will work but you need to drill long bolts 3 1/2". Make sure that is rest's against the baseboard for a more secure fit. We went from a Queen to a King and everything was Amish design. 5" square Oak legs so very Heavy but this did the trick for us. Did the foot board as well.

In my estimation, it should be secure. My headboard is also heavy with a canopy and it works quite well. Good luck. Cee Cee

I used these brackets with a queen headboard and king bed with hook brackets for the headboard and to be honest it does move a bit. There really isn't any alternative if you want to combine mismatched beds and headboards. The weight of your headboard will actually be an advantage and may move less than mine. I'd say do it!

I love this headboard, but I use it with a boxspring and mattress, and no frame. My boxspring is directly on the floor. It works perfect for my use. If you have a frame, boxspring and mattress, there is a chance that this would be too high.

I would say yes but not 100% sure. The top half of the headboard is separate from the legs when it arrives. I have a platform bed with a ridge on all four sides and I just propped the top half on the ridge and scooted the mattress up against it. It stays just fine. And it's not too heavy so as long as the mattress is against it, it's sturdy. Looks great, too!!!

My headboard is 1" thick, and I think it is best designed for nothing thicker than that. Even though the clip will open to 1 1/2", I'm not sure it would stay secured on your headboard.

My husband and I only used two of the interlocking mounts for our King sized headboard and it's been fine. We did mount them in the studs and used wall anchors to ensure that ours stayed put. It hasn't moved and we too used plywood with three layers of batting and fabric to cover it. Good luck to you!

No, I don't think it will. Each hook is covered with a plastic tubing that protects the headboard.Young Sister

If it's something you want to lean against a lot, I wouldn't. The bed is made of pressboard with a thin vainer over it, and I don't think it's that strong. If you just want something for decoration, or if the headboard is against the wall, it might work.

Yes, just slide out extra width probably 1 1/2 in per side and slide screw in. I used screws with wing nuts so I could tighten easily when they became loose. Headboard may wiggle slightly.

Depends on how thick your headboard is. Ditto the getting longer bolts if it's too thick. Brackets are very sturdy. Hope that helps!

I've had no problem with headboard. I bought mine about 1 yr ago. I'm 6 ft tall and the back of my head touches near the end of the board. I'm happy with this product.

It will most likely fit properly; however, there is some variance in the hole placement in metal bed frames. If you plan to place the headboard against a wall, you will almost certainly be fine, because the wall will help to stabilize the headboard even if you find it's not a perfect fit.

I don't have a footboard, but I feel that it could. I bought a king size for my queen bed and it overlaps the entire bed beautifully.

I wouldn't plan on hanging a headboard off of this. If the headboard was mostly self supported, you could tie into it for basic stability. We hung out headboard on the wall which is an alternate option.

I have mine attached to a full-size bed. It's maybe 2-3 inches wider than the full-size frame on both sides. I just centered it behind the frame and it looks fine. Note that the headboard is made to fasten to a conventional bed frame. Since I bought a platform frame (to avoid the need to buy a box spring), the frame did not fasten the way a normal one would. My husband bolted a board across the bottom of the headboard and bolted the platform to that.

I suppose you could use a longer bolt to attach a headboard where the corner brace is attached. We use a freestanding headboard with ours.

Am making my own headboard with 3/4 inch plywood for a queen size bed so the headboard will be quite heavy. How many should I use to not have it fall down? Any information, ideas or suggestions are very appreciated !

It would look best with a box spring. Without it you will have a big gap between your bed and headboard.
