can this be used on a metal bed frame

No, not unless there was a flat board that was under it. Without the board holding it, it could fall through.

We connected a metal, queen bed frame to the headboard & it works fine. We have no complaints on this headboard.

It depends.There are 4 holes of about 1 inch in height and 1/3 inch in width as the bottom of the frame. If your metal frame would fit into them then yes. I just screwed the frame into the wall and put my bed in front of it. Good luck.

It has a mount you can see in this picture that has 3 large screws that are it's main mount. I would not think you would want to drill into metal frame. You would also need different screws as these are for wood.

I attached it to a free standing queen size metal bed frame. It came with screws to attach it

If the platform bed is on a metal bed frame, but I tend to think platform beds are on a flat wooden frame, so no. It will probably not be compatible.

For a metal bed frame, we recommend you to go to your local hardware store becase it really depends which kind of metal bed frame it is. Usually with the diameter of the headboard holes and those in the metal bed frame, anyone in a hardware store will be able to get you the right screws with the right bolts and washers.

There are 4 slotted holes on both ends of the metal bed frame, about 13 inches off the ground, spaced 5 inches from edge, 18 inches, 9 inches, 18 inches, and 5 inches from the edge. I think a footboard or headboard could be bolted on at these locations. However a free-standing headboard that has a recessed area to slide the bed in may be more suitable.

It has pre-drilled holes that can be used with either full or queen sized frames. You can use a metal frame with this headboard but the hardware required for mounting a metal frame is not included. The hardware can be easily obtained at any hardware store.

Yes it will work on metal, wood even fiberglass. Also, priming is not required but I found that sanding the surface is good for prep purposes, I took a drill and a wire brush to my bed for a few hours but I went overkill

It should work fine as long as the frame has a lip on which the support slats can rest. I did screw it to the wooden frame just for additional stability, so if the metal frame has pre-drilled holes you could probably secure it with bolts. Otherwise, just dialing in the height of the feet where you get solid contact between the slats and the frame should be sufficient.

What are the requirements to attach the frame to a headboard - does it matter if it's metal or wood?

I put it on my California king metal frame. It's a common metal frame. The frame and headboard have multiple holes to line up.

Not sure what kind of bed frame you have. We just have hollywood metal frame and it attached with a couple screws and bolts. Love it!

This is a bit of a mixed answer - It CAN work with just about any metal frame, but it will be a lot easier with some frames compared to others. The support does include the necessary hardware to bolt to a metal frame. The tricky part is that with a wood frame, you simply screw the cross rails down where they rest. Most metal frames will have some holes pre-drilled in them along the rails, but the support may not perfectly line up with all of those holes since it has a fixed spacing between cross rails. With a metal bed frame, the options usually are: 1) Rest the "lip" of the cross supports on the inside of your bed rail. Bolt down as many holes as will line up, leave the others resting. This isn't the most secure option, but will still provide good support. 2) Drill 1/4" holes in your bed frame using a bit made for metal which will line up with the ends of the cross supports, so you can bolt down all six points. Using this with a metal frame is definitely possible and will provide good support, but it won't be quite as easy as using it with a wood frame. If your metal frame already has some pre-drilled holes, you may want to look at a support such as the Mighty Lift FQU-11 which doesn't have a fixed spacing - This will let you line up the cross rails with the pre-drilled holes.

That would depend on the width and depth of the space between the headboard & footboard, and from side to side. Get those measurements and compare them to the measurements provided in the product description. If you have an existing frame with rails, you may want to consider adding extra slats between the rails to support a foam mattress (if that's your intent) which would eliminate the need for the metal platform.

I put mine in a old antique iron bed. I do believe a metal frame would work. The frame of the bottom matress is matal itself.
