I plan to antique finish & decoupage the headboard. Once assembled, is it fairly sturdy? If need be, can we make it sturdy w/wood supports in back?

I don't think it would be sturdy enough, but you might be able to add supports to help it.

I have three round pieces of pork approximately 1 1/2 inches long so it does not bang on the wall. It works very well like that.

Real sturdy, I am kinda of a big person and I don't notice any wobble or shaking.

The King size headboard is pretty sturdy as it is, but you could certainly add wood support brackets. We've had it for 8 months or so. I, too, general try to beef-up cheap items to make them last...as for this one, i haven't needed to.

Yes this bed is extremely sturdy! We have had this bed for a year now and have never had an issue with it. It is a beautiful bedand looks very expensive. We did run an extra wood slat underneath for added security. Love this bed!

Hi, this is a very nice headboard. However, you will not be able to attach. We had to place big books under the base in order to get the right height. I did not buy the platform, perhaps that connects somehow. I doubt it though, looking at the picture it seems to raise the bed to the proper height only. You may want to purchase this also, if you don't have any big books, such as text books. I hope this helps.

The whole bed including the bookshelf headboard is very sturdy. I have had this bed for my daughter for about 6 months and I have no complaints

It's very sturdy. Several pounds at least. Just make sure that the support dowels are friction tight or glued.

Use the hardware provided and follow the directions also provided. My metal bedframe has holes that lined up with the headboard. My daughter attached it for me with just a screwdriver and pliers. I held it for her to stabilize it until she got the screws started through the holes. Good Luck!

It is very sturdy. Wood is dense and quite heavy, and the frame bolts e everything securely in place. The feet are great. It does not budge or rattle when contacted. Though definitely put it together in the same room you want it to be, nearby the spot. It is great quality but very heavy.

Yes, it's very sturdy. The design is very open and airy so that it doesn't look bulky and heavy. The only trouble I had assembling it was that I was by myself. It's doable but would be easier with someone to help you. Screwing the chair cushion was a little difficult. Over all, I'm happy with it.

I actually suggest doing that. We have had this bed for 5 years. After about 2 years the supports that came with it snapped. They were thin and I worried about them breaking to begin with . I wish we had added our own 2X4's from the get go.

The headboard is assembled except for the finials. Youhave to screw those onto the posts. I have minimal skills and I was able to assemble it myself and even screwed it onto the bed frame I have. I beleive an allen wrench was included.

The bed is not set up for adding head or foot boards. But it is made of sturdy wood and by drilling a few holes and installing some lag bolts you could easily add them if you are a little handy with wood working. I chose not to do this as I am using the bed in a cabin in the woods and want the rural look.

Its sturdy ,you can add a block of wood underneath for support. Place in the center should not be visible.

there isnt a headboard that is the beauty of it. It is reall a day bed style. Putting it together is very easy and it is really sturdy. For the price it is great construction.

Definitely...the accent table isn't super strong but it is sturdy...I would make the whole prior to assembling tho (obviously )...I have 2 and they look good and are solid.

Quite easily. There are metal rails included with the headboard that attach to the back. These rails have slots for attaching to a metal frame. All the bolts needed to make these attachments are included. This is how I installed mine and it's very sturdy.

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.

My headboard is solid. Seems to me when I assembled I didn't exactly follow the instructions as I wanted a better chance of things lining up. Don't remember the specific steps though.
