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!

No...the bed actually hangs over the frame a couple inches on all sides. I don't think you can attach a headboard.

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.

We didn't have any problems with assembly. It was very sturdy. We did treat the wood with teak oil prior to assembly. It is holding up nicely. We have it in a covered patio, so it isn't exposed directly to the weather.

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.

Yes!! This is a very nice headboard for the price. There is Assembly required but it is not hard to do at all. I am a single female and did this all by myself. If you purchase this headboard you will not be disappointed.

I have not had any problems but the weight of the headboard is substantial. Gravity keeps it securely in place. If the object being mounted is extremely light weight there might be risk but I have never experienced it. I find it works out very well for my needs.

Yep, it's sturdy! It's all in the mounting, though, just make sure you're mounting it at a good place in your wall and that the screws are tight and properly done.

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.

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, 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.

Put it this way, it is HEAVY, not flimsy material. It looks great in our spare bedroom, along with the headboard. I have the same colour of panelling on the bottom of our walls and a light/medium blue above. Friends just LOVE that room.

This headboard is secured by short bolts with Allen head wrench. This would have to be modified to accept a bolt type connection to secure more firmly. Otherwise, in my opinion it would not be secure or long enough. Beautiful headboard. Even with regular bed frame can not be tightened enough to keep from squeaking.

I have a standard metal bed frame and this headboard was attached with screws. It comes with wood posts.

I think it's pretty sturdy. better quality than I expected. Mine is at the foot of my bed and I would be comfortable with a toddler using it as support. I just do not know about it being okay without being against something.

You will need to line up the headboard and extension legs, get a small piece of 2 x 4 and slightly tap it in using the 2 x 4 and a hammer. that's what I did and had no problem.
