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, 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.

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, it is. I can't speak to how it will do if you antique it (since I don't do that myself, I don't know what that entails), but it is wood. Hopefully it will work out for you. Good luck!

I think it's pretty sturdy. My husband and I are both satisfied with the quality!

thanks so much everyone. Dh is extremely handy so i am confident we could put it together ok. Most pressboard furniture just seems so flimsy and the drawes would need to be real sturdy to stand up to heavy files. Thanks so much!

The bed is made really good. It's beautiful and I love the finish on it. As far as being solid wood I'm not sure but it seems like it is.

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.

Yes, very sturdy (make sure to build right). Agree it can handle the weight as long as you keep the heavier items closer to the drawers. Have had it for about 5 months and very happy with it.

Yes! I am very pleased with this headboard. I will say that the wood board, can not support the top part... but I just attached it to the wall, which works perfectly! Great for the price.

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.

This bed frame is very solid without a headboard but I intend on crafting one which, when attached, would strengthen it even further. The headboard could be attached to the bed frame, the wall or be free standing with the bed snuggled up against it.

No, this is not made of real sturdy wood. This bed is BEAUTIFUL, but now worth the money.

From what I recall when putting it together, it seemed to be made of wood. You may want to have a second person there to hold the sides while you screw everything together (I did it alone and was cussing). After it was put together, I thought it seems very sturdy.

Although it is not real wood, I was impressed because it's pretty sturdy. Especially the back piece. Normally, it's just a thin piece of cardboard but this 1 has a heavy thick backboard that is just as heavy as the other pieces. I just got 2 of the 4 drawer chests & I'm praying that they are made the same way! I like it!

I would sugguest buying a different bed with sturdier wood. We had ours for less than 6 months my 4 year old and wife sat on it at the same time and the frame and head board piece snapped in half. Sorry hope that helps

Yes of course..&gt;My sister bought one also and got a beautiful wrought iron ?sp headboard that attached beautifully and I have a bookcase headboard (one shelf for books..I'm an avid reader)...and that went on no problem...it is standard..in fact if one was so inclined you can add a box spring for height and it wouldn't change a thing...but height.....but hey ..I'm 5'1" and rounding that off so I don't need a ladder to go to bed. lol
