How does this headboard attach to the frame? Or the wall? Trying to understand how this attaches before I buy. Can a window be behind it?

The legs of the headboard attaches to the bed frame- mine screwed in easily. You could put this in front of a window since it doesn't need to be attached to a wall!

We attached ours to the bed frame. I don't think it will stand up on its own without securing it to the wall.

It does attach to a standard metal bed frame. I have the headboard near the wall I wouldn't put all my weight on it but it is sturdy. I think it's a good headboard for the money. The hardware was included not always the case.

Use the hardware provided and follow the directions also provided. My metal bedframe has holes that lined up with the headboard. My daughter attached it for me with just a screwdriver and pliers. I held it for her to stabilize it until she got the screws started through the holes. Good Luck!

I'm sorry I can't help you. I am still trying to decide where to put ours. I MIGHT just mount it on a piece of foam board and hang it in the window. We only have 8 more states to go before it is complete.

The hook doesn't actually go down the wall. The hook goes under the wood trim under the sill, then over the window frame. I know its hard to imagine, and my suggestion is to look at how those Monkey Hooks work to hang pictures. That's the closest thing I can think of to show the same idea on how this works.

EZ to do yourself if you've got another body to help position it for installation. in a window it is straight forward, if you need to cut a hole in the wall that is another matter. Any handyman should be able to help with the install if you don't want to do it... nice unit.

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.

I've moved away from the home where I had that bed, but I believe the unit just stands alone and has small brackets to attach it to the wall. There are panels at least a foot wide facing the top of the bed where a person could probably drill holes for bolts and attach a metal frame to the headboard. It is a heavy, sturdy unit. I was very happy with it and would happily get another one.

Yes! It actually attaches to the frame and so does the headboard. Works great.

I never considered a headboard, but the base is very stable. Personally I would mount a wooden headboard on the wall and push the bed in front of it. If you want to attach a headboard to the frame, you would have to have some sort of collars to attach it to the pipe frame. If the headboard is heavy relative to the frame, I would suggest a footboard as well to balance the weight. A relatively light headboard would be fine, but I would consider the design of the attachments carefully, with regard to a stable and attractive result.

Purchased it for my daughter in college. It did not come with a headboard, or at least we did not order one. So one could have no headboard or as you suggest, add your own. You may not be able to attach is but you can certainly, with the weight of the bed, keep it preasured between the bed and the wall.

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.

This is not a bed frame. It's just a mattress support that a mattress will sit on. There isn't really a way to attach anything to it. You would need to get a bed frame separately if you want a headboard.

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.

Can you adjust the headboard to make it not so high? I'm looking for a shorter headboard because The bed is in front of a window and I don't want to block it too much. Just want the headboard to show a little above the propped pillows. Thanks!!
