I purchased this bed and just set it up. Did anyone experience the headboard as being shaky? It doesn't seem to fit solidly into the leg extenders.

Mine seem to fit ok and seems stable. My issue is the gap that allows the pillow to fall thru.

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal. good luck

We haven't experienced any problems with this bed. I'm wondering if you didn't put it together properly or if perhaps they sent wrong parts. We love it.

Mine is not shaky. If the headboard is positioned on correctly and pushed well into the leg extenders I don't think it will by shaky. It's a good bed.

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.

The legs swing out but you need to be sure they are spread out fully. They don't lock or pop so that you know they are fully extended on either end. If they aren't all the way out it will feel wobbly. I love it though - the middle leg isn't right up under the center so it isn't stabbing you in the back all night - much better than others I tried.

Strangely enough I moved my friend's cal king bed using them. It was really easy and we didn't even use them correctly. The bed will seem really low to the ground unless you properly use the middle hook for our heights. Cover the bed with some junk sheets just in case, but I had no issues. Ez

I actually suggest doing that. We have had this bed for 5 years. After about 2 years the supports that came with it snapped. They were thin and I worried about them breaking to begin with . I wish we had added our own 2X4's from the get go.

That is the same problem with no instructions! Hope it goes together better for you! I hope it is more sturdy! The stool broke out from under my daughter and came close it hitting the back of her head on her bed frame! I think this is a piece of crap and there is one at ikea that is much sturdier! My opinion

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.

The only squeak I ever hear is the rare noise from one of the metal bars that go across the bottom for support. Even then, it's rare and a muted sound. It's more like the bar "re-adjusts" with how it's slotted on the ends. By comparison to every other bed I've had with traditional frames, wooden headboards, etc. it doesn't make enough noise to cause concern. Even while doing the bone dance. Hope this helps!

I think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

that is kind of strange. that didn't happen when I bought it. It must be an amazon website problem. Hope your not shopping for beds these are bed frames.

My twin bed has a headboard that I think gives the bed more weight. I don't sit at the end of the bed only on the side. Ive had no problems with the frame or tipping.

It's not wobbly at all. And also the noises and squeakiness of the original wood full size bed are gone. The queen is now very sturdy. I was originally told to purchase an extra center support which I did not do. And it seems that it is not needed. I'm super happy with the conversion and love my Queen size bed. It still sits higher than the full and the headboard is hidden a little but it doesn't really matter. I am happy.

Our bed is very high so the headboard does look low with our bed. Don't know what the height is but we put small blocks under ours to lift it up a bit.

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!

The bed feels pretty solid. I have a tempurpedic mattress on it and it fits well/doesn't creak or shake. My partner and I weigh about 300 pounds combined so we aren't particularly putting a lot of strain on it, but I toss around in my sleep and haven't felt unstable nor have I heard any squeaking in the 6 months I've had it.

My husband was able to raise ours up somewhat with what was there on our bedframe but I know a lot of people who have suggested mounting the headboard on the wall and they do this all the time on HGTV so you might try that to get it up higher. I am pleased with mine as it is comfortable while just relaxing or reading.

I feel like mine has become a fair bit softer in certain spots that are more laid in. The foot end is still pretty stiff but the upper end where we normally sleep sinks in deeper than I like. We've had ours for 2 years now and flipped it once. Not over though just around so the foot end becomes the head end. I actually came to the page today to see if the warranty covers this... sadly it doesn't look like it does.

The headboard has legs that attach to the frame of the bed (the material of the headboard, therefore, does not go all the way down). I suppose the headboard could rest against the wall with the bed pushed up against it to hold it up, but I think it would be a little wobbly. Hope that helps.
