problem getting headboard into extension legs
1446072
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.

It was a little bit of work getting the frame together, but it was worth it. It looks really nice in the guest room, and the price was great as well.

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.

You have to open the top where the seat is the legs should spread apart. You may have to twist the extension to loosen it.

There were 2 holes on the bottom of that front headboard piece that would lie flush with the bed. You attach there through the back of that board then into the bed frame... perhaps you used the wrong board in its place?

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.

These can probably be used to solve the problem. It would take two sets, one for the headboard and one for the footboard, but they should bolt to the wooden rails, then hook to the ends. Might make the overall assembly slightly longer than usual, but not significantly so.

There should have been 4 angle brackets included with bed frame that affix to bed frame. Headboard can then be affixed to that bracket.

Hi, unfortunately, this headboard is slightly too high to be attached to this platform bed.

I ran into the same issue. After I got the rest of it tightened, I laid the whole thing down horizontally, undid the screws that were holding those two L & R legs, made sure the leg pieces were then flush, and put the screws back in. This time, with the whole thing horizontal, it was much easier to screw the screws/bolts together. And I had to get it SUPER tight before it wasn't wobbly. But it did eventually work great. Hope this helps!

No. The headboard is 47" at its outer edges and over 50" in the center. The legs cannot be shortened.

The center section on mine isn't adjustable so the rails will not be wide enough for queen head and foot boards.

We have a new mattress! That is not the issue! There should be side and foot boards like shown in the photos! The headboard is wobbly without them!

same here; I bought only the headboard. My old bed frame had the vertical bracket only on the head of the frame to attach it.

The legs on the headboard go all the way to the floor, but you will need to use a metal frame to attach to the headboard if you plan on using a mattress and box spring.

I used this center support for something else. What you do is assemble it with legs adjust short of what your extisting bed. Then set it near the middle and slide and turn until the This item is made for a bed frame with angle iron. The only suggestion I can make is you would have to use bolt to the hook. If this is impossible, I would attach angle braces you can get at the hardware store and screw or bolt them to the wood siding. If you haven't bought this yet, don't. If you haven't used, return. It really wasn't made for the hookin rail setup. Look around and ask some questions. There has to be someone who makes what you are looking for. Good Luck!

What is the search words I need to use to find the "special attachements" for headboard only. Husband is too lengthy for whole bed with foot board.

Thanks SirBrad... I was having problems extending the bottom as well. Your suggestion helped me a lot. It's a pity they didn't specify this in the instructions.
