Can this headboard stand freely, ie be held up against wall by weight of platform frame/mattress without attaching?

Sorry, I don't know. I ordered Chocolate brown from Amazon warehouse and was sent Kaki. I didn't take it out of the box, just returned it.

It has to be attached to the bed to be stable vertically and has to be backed to the wall to be stable horizontally.

Yes. That's what I did. I leaned it against the wall and then used my bed frame to press it snug against the wall.

Yes. You can attach a headboard I've read but it doesn't come with anything for that.

This attaches to bed frame and therefore is not suitable if you want something freestanding or to attach to wall

No...the bed actually hangs over the frame a couple inches on all sides. I don't think you can attach a headboard.

Same here. I have a platform bed frame with no side support at all and I have no problem at all. I hope this helps.

This headboard will attach to a queen or king frame. We attached to king size metal frame. I could not see stability with wooden frame.

I use it as my box spring for a memory foam mattress so I had nothing to attach to it. It sits higher then a traditional frame and there isn't anywhere to attach a headboard. It is a very good frame though.

No, it is not available without headboard. The bed would be unstable and have unfinished edges if you assemble without headboard.

iam not so sure you can attach a headboard but you may be able to drill hole on either side of top frame and attach...but don't think it would be too sturdy..this is a heavy duty frame though.

The support posts are round and do not lend themselves to headboard attachment. But we have done just fine with buying headboards and using the bed to keep against the wall (and one can also Velcro a headboard against the wall). The frame itself is easy to build and take apart. Both of my early 20s daughters assembled these without any angst even though they are far less handy than their mom (me).

Only if your bed frame has the extension to mount the head and foot boards to it. Other wise it's only the top poles holding it together.

I suppose you could use a longer bolt to attach a headboard where the corner brace is attached. We use a freestanding headboard with ours.

It didn't attach to the frame I have but it doesn't matter. The headboard is against the wall with the bed pushed against it. I think that's better than having it attached to a bed where the headboard can move every time she gets in bed, or the kids bounce on the bed, etc.

Mine is definitely attached to the bed. Not sure if you can get creative and somehow mount it to the wall. It's a great looking headboard though!

Nope. It easily leans against the wall. I don't have it bolted and it's stable

If your bed frame had 2 plates that you can use nuts and bolts to secure the board, you can do so.. or it is better to place it against the wall. The depth is about 1 foot and the board is not heavy enough to stand up by itself.

not unless you created some sort of dock&latch; port. there is no system in place to attach a headboard. i did buy the headboard (the one wtih the shelving units) that is associated with the product and just pushed the bed up against it and it worked great. but there is nothing in place to attach a headboard
