Ours is not secured to the wall. I'm sure you could make something work with straps if you felt the need to do so. I personally don't feel it needs that type of securing, but, I suppose it depends on your child!

No it does not need any safety straps. The bed is pretty sturdy, I've laid in it with my son plenty of times with no worries

We don't have ours secured to the wall. It is very sturdy. My daughter has often climbed up and down the side instead of using the latter and has never tipped it over. I assume you can use any fabric safety strap by wrapping it around any of the metal bars on the long end without the later.

its very sturdy, which is probably why they dont come with safety straps. ive climbed in the bed to tuck the sheets with no prob.

For full safety, you have to attach it to your bed - it's easy to do. Otherwise, it's not stable. Please attach to your bed! :)

There is a way to attach it to the wood frame if it has bars for the hardware. There is also velcro wraps. Very easy to attach. Hope it helps.

Wall mounting any piece of furniture requires extra support and good anchoring. It is a solid wood piece (ie: heavy) even when empty. If you really want to mount it on the wall it can be done by removing each drawer and anchoring/screwing the back plate to the wall. It would be a great deal of effort but it is feasible. You would not be able to put much in it for safety reasons. Perhaps a better solution would be to buy 4 table legs and add them to the bottom. This would give it more height while maintaining safety.

Good Morning - the ladder is attached to the bed with ladder hooks that are then screwed into the bed frame with 2 small screws. This is the recommended way of using the bed to avoid the ladder shifting. If it is not screwed in it will most likely mar the finish as well under the ladder hooks. Thank you for allowing me to assist you - from the #1 Discovery World Furniture seller on Amazon - Dreamscape Furniture:) Feel free to call me at 8007719330 if you need further assistance. Scott

For me, I made a custom [in-wall] frame for it to be mounted. There are holes behind the front mirror hinges, so I used those so that nothing could be seen for attaching to new wood frame. Very nice product, if it works for you.

Mine did not come with hardware to attach to a wall, and when I looked at it closely, it might be hard to attach a bracket to do that. We have used velcro straps to connect ours to a couple of different things (railings, a piece of furniture) but it isn't really designed for that.

I don't understand this question. The item bolts onto a metal bed frame so that you can hook the frame to your headboard. There are no legs on this item. Our bed frame has holes, designed to be mated to similar holes on a headboard and then be bolted on. When we inherited a nice cherry headboard we discovered it didn't have holes, but instead was meant to attach with hooks. We needed a piece that we could bolt to the frame but with hooks to attach to the headboard. This is the item we found and it works as intended.

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.

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.

It comes with a piece of wood that I assume you use to replace the side that you take off. It just enables the child to crawl in and out of the bed. I assume you are talking about the "guard rail" that is for sale. The crib does not come with a "guard rail" to protect your child from falling out of the bed when it is set as a toddler bed. It just comes with the piece that enables you to transform it to a toddler bed. Hope this makes sense. :-)

I set mine up without straps by setting the front feet a little higher than the back so it naturally leans into the wall. But note, there are no children small enough to pull on it here and I loaded it from the bottom to the top to control the center of gravity.

It comes with a plastic strap that is screwed into the wall and the back of the cabinet. This prevents it from toppling over onto someone. This unit is very lightweight and definitely needs that support because it really does not stand up by itself without support.

Not sure what you mean by safely, but it has worked well for us for the past 8 months. There are straps that you are supposed to attach to the back of the dresser/changing table. I found that many people don't do this and the changing pad could slide off. We attached ours and it works very well and is safe.

It must be secured by clipping a small strap around something so it doesn't slip off when the dog is walking on it. I'm not sure where you would clip it on the bed but you may be able to make it work.

Mine has the bed pushed against it holding it in place. It is not attached. If you are putting the bed there it is a heavy bed and should hold. They recommend and give screws to hold it. Not gonna stay in place without the bed.

I secured via strong bike cable lock using one of the latch holes. I secured that to a tie down in the bed. Use pad lock to link cable to hole
