The two metal pieces connect together and are inserted into the headboard, footboard and motor. The motor turns and the bed raises and lowers turning these pieces. The included instructions were very clear on how to connect these pieces together.

It has been a while since I put my bed together, but from the outside I can clearly see they do not utilize a metal bracket. I do not remember what they screw into on the other section of the frame.

I just used the standard queen size metal bed frame. U will have to get the attachments to put on the footboard or buy a metal frame that has the pieces for the footboard

Hello, I KNOW your situation regarding the bed rails. I had to find a Coaster Furniture dealer to order just the rails to that particular bed for me. Now it's all good to go!

Hi! These come at about 80'' if you are a craftsman you could probably cut them down...CAREFULLY! There is only one track for the top only. As long as you have top space for "two tracks'' I don't see why you can't put two together... one from the left and one from the right. The only issue I can see would be how the magnets attach together at the middle. The would retract each other so maybe a small metal plate in the middle. If you are looking for long term or deal with pets and children going in and out, then these are not a good choice. They will be flimsy at the bottom. Other than that they served my purpose of hiding an obscure linen closet. Good luck

Carol, not sure what metal parts you are talking about. I have 2 of these in different sizes and all I had to do was zip them up. NC

My bed frame is too narrow, by a scant few in.s, to hook to the 2 metal "plates", one on each side of inside bottom of the head board. The measurement between the inside of the head board frame is 39 7/8". I don't know if my bed frame is unusually smaller as I got the least expensive one available at the time. I agree with S. Arnold's comment since I'm doing the same.

We attached ours to a metal bed frame without a problem except that one of the bolt receivers on the headboard was stripped. We used a screw an inch or so away instead.

I believe the rails connect the headboard and foot of the bed together. They are metal. I ordered a queen size frame and the is a gap between the end of my mattress and the foot of the bed also if you are not using a box spring mattress with this you will need to get some kind of slants to support your mattress

It worked well for my queen size metal bed frame. We did have to remove the middle rib of the original bed frame to make room for the new. I am impressed with the difference it made for me!

Sorry but that is the same question I asked. I did not get a diagram or instructions either and cannot really tell from the picture where all the pieces go. It says to refer to the diagram but there is not one included.

Right now mine fits exactly 37" using one extension piece. I'm not sure how much further it could stretch, but for 1-3 more inches, another extension would be unnecessary as it does not look like it would even fit right now. I hope this helps you!

When u put the rails together make sure it is your size; either for queen or king. Read the directions carefully. We really like this bed. Only problem we had was the hardware was missing. After a phone call we received the hardware in 2 days.

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

yes, my sons bed is a metal frame, you might have to drill a hole if your metal frame doesnt have any. My sons bed frame had holes so we did not have to drill.

We are. We have a low profile box springs and the bed is very tall. I don't think it would work well with a regular height box springs unless you cut the legs and made them shorter. But then, you would loose your underbed storage, so I don't know why you wouldn't just buy a standard metal bed frame then.
