Will it be easy to secure it to a standard metal bed frame or will I have to buy some sort of attachment kit?

You can connect it to a regular bed frame,there are several holes to do this. However, on my frame, only one set of the holes worked, so another set had to be drilled. It does work with just one set of holes on each side bolted, but it is not as secure. I've noticed that others here have said they have had to drill an additional set of holes as I did.

yes, as long as the holes on the headboard line up with your bed frame, I had to drill a new hole in the headboard to get it to align with my bed frame, hope this helps

I secured mine to my standard metal frame, and it works fine. The screws you'll need are included in the package.

On my bed frame the holes matched up and it was simply a matter of securing two bolts per side. Very simple and easy.

Sorry I can't be more help, but I have a regular metal frame on my bed. Love the headboard and it's a great price.

Yes you will need a bed frame. It did not match mine perfectly, but I made it work.

I had no problem attaching the bed frame with the headboard. The bed frame was a little narrow had to force it a little bit to get the bolt throught.

This is a bit of a mixed answer - It CAN work with just about any metal frame, but it will be a lot easier with some frames compared to others. The support does include the necessary hardware to bolt to a metal frame. The tricky part is that with a wood frame, you simply screw the cross rails down where they rest. Most metal frames will have some holes pre-drilled in them along the rails, but the support may not perfectly line up with all of those holes since it has a fixed spacing between cross rails. With a metal bed frame, the options usually are: 1) Rest the "lip" of the cross supports on the inside of your bed rail. Bolt down as many holes as will line up, leave the others resting. This isn't the most secure option, but will still provide good support. 2) Drill 1/4" holes in your bed frame using a bit made for metal which will line up with the ends of the cross supports, so you can bolt down all six points. Using this with a metal frame is definitely possible and will provide good support, but it won't be quite as easy as using it with a wood frame. If your metal frame already has some pre-drilled holes, you may want to look at a support such as the Mighty Lift FQU-11 which doesn't have a fixed spacing - This will let you line up the cross rails with the pre-drilled holes.

It is attached to a metal bedframe. A friend did it for me. The quality is good and it looks nice. SW

U need a specific frame. I wish I would have known this before I purchased the bed.

My regular metal queen-sized frame fit easily onto this headboard attached with a couple of bolts

My metal frame had single holes that I attached it to with the screws and nuts that came with the headboard. I have a king size and it fit perfectly

You will need to buy the attachments for the head & foot board - they do NOT come with this frame.If you use a box-spring, your bed will be very high.

Won't take standard frame-has to be 2 separate rails that bolt into headboard and footboard

We have it attached to a metal frame. I think there are already screw/bolt holes in the metal frame the headboard is built around (the back of the headboard is open and hollow).

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

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

That's true, you'll have to add a Hollywood bed frame (simple metal frame), but those are inexpensive and it will be easy to attach.

You should be able to adjust tightness, then secure with the 2 bolt screws. Pretty easy
