does this headboard have to be attached to the bed frame or wall? is it able to stand on its own?

It stands fine alone. I never attached to wall or bed. Assembled, it is pretty heavy.

It stands on it's own. You don't need to attach it to anything. I suppose you could attach it if you wanted to, but I never have.

It does not need to be attached, ours is free standing. We have had it for a couple of years now and it hasn't been a problem.

NO. There is no headboard. But there are holes drilled into the frame that allow you to attach your own headboard.

You can place it free standing. I did not need to anchor it, it was tight enough to stand on its own. However I must tell you that it warps a bit in a very warm bathroom

There is no need to attach to a wall. It stands very stable by itself. Goodluck!

It doesn't have a frame for the bed , your bed frame has to have the head board and foot board holes

Yes, I attached it to the bed frame I already had. It's sturdy and doesn't lean on the wall because I used longer bolts than were provided to attach it to the bed frame. Take the bolts it comes with to your local hardware store and ask for longer ones...

Yes, a headboard can be attached, although I was lazy and just propped ours against the wall. The frame has a pair of vertical rectangular metal plates at the two corners at the head of the bed. The plates have several horizontal slits suitable for putting screws through to attach a headboard.

I am not sure that it will be good to let it stand freely. It is not heavy at all and I think it will move around if you don't attach it to the bedframe.

Not really, but I bought padded headboards and just propped them against the wall behind the frame. The frame is so tall that there's no problem with stability.

We have ours fastened to the wall. I'm not sure that it can be used as a stand alone.

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.

The headboard would need to be freestanding or mounted on the wall. I would not advise attaching a headboard to the frame.

Hello SKW, I am sorry but it is not designed to be assembled without the headboard maybe take a look at the Discovery World Furniture Rake Beds or the Bookcase Day Beds. Thanks, Drew

We did attach a headboard to it. My daughter made one from particle board wrapped in fabric and my husband figured out a way to attach it with our own screws etc.

That depends on the kind of frame. Mine only had one end that I could attach to, so I flipped it around, attached the bottom end, and then pushed the bed against the wall the hold the head board. Not the greatest, butnitnworks just fine and I have not had any problems with it.

When I bought this I bought both versions one with a headboard and the other without, so if it says it has the headboard is included I would assume it is, now when setting it up it is detachable from the bed so if you choose to use it with or without it that is an option.

The frame does not include brackets so it would have to be drilled or possibly find brackets that work with the headboard.
