Are there wooden side rails that hook into the head and footboards?

yes they are wood. Bed is very good looking and sturdy.We are in our late 60s and had no trouble with putting it together except we had difficulty moving it as it is heavy.

Yes. They are pretty. The bed is more sturdy than I thought so I was pleased. After we got our new one (the first headboard I received was broken) I was happy. Home and living was a great help and replaced it quickly.

Amazon has a version that includes Smart Base brackets for the headboard and footboard. Make sure you get that version. If you made the mistake I did and ordered this one without the brackets, they CAN be ordered separately from the company.

I'm not quite sure I understand the question. I removed my wooden rails and this attached to the head-board. If you are looking for a supportive rail for the wooden rails there are different products out there for that.

There are two holes at the headboard and footboard that go through the metal end. No hardware, though.

These are metal supports that screw down into the side bed rails. They do not attach to the head or foot boards.

Generally, there are two types of headboards...one that has slots for the "claw" that you see in this picture or another that may have holes for a bolt on rail, which these can do also. Most headboards typically are slotted to accept these claw rails. Hope that helps.

Yes you would have to screw the headrail in on both ends and possibly in the middle to something.

No- this is just the headboard. They do sell with the rails but it's a different item and more expensive.

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

I was not able to use my wood side rails. You will have to use the rails provided . I just used a dust ruffle and you couldn't see the rails :)

I've been thinking about a way to build side rails. Most people put it next to a wall or desk to use for balance. It kind of is a disaster. Very narrow with no side rails, so you gotta watch your feet most of the time

Hooks on these rails (that go into front & back of bed frame) are shallow. The stress to my antique maple headboard caused the wood to split in half, from left to right. Very sad as is my grandmothers bed handmade & over 65 yrs old.

There are 4 bracket in a set (enough for both side rails). You wouldn't want to use them on the head board and foot board, since they would make the bed a little unstable.

No, there are no brackets/mounting hardware for headboard or footboard. We bought some metal "universal" brackets but even with those my husband had to drill new holes in our existing headboard. We love the bed frame though and would've made it work no matter what!

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.

i have only tried it for the foot board. Headboard brackets are usually part of the standard rails and should not need any more brackets or rail extensions.

The side rails are wood. We use this frame not to support the mattress and foundation but to surround it. We're surprised at how much we like it!
