Just received this Headboard. Are the two LEG EXTENSIONS suppose to be FORCED into the BOTTOM OF THE HEADBOARD POSTS?

The legs are a tight fit so that they don't feel wobbly. I found that by gently tapping them with a rubber mallet (or a board wrapped in rags) so that the metal is not damaged by a regular hammer, they connected fine.

These are part of the legs of the headboard. They are a very snug fit so some pressure is needed to seat the upper parts into the lower parts. I found it easiest to loosly attach the lower parts to the bedframe then carefully push the top down to until the parts are completely assembled. I needed no tools to accomplish this.John

My husband said he had to apply quite a bit of force to put them in the bottom of the posts.

I don't recall ever forcing anything when I put it together. Everything is snug. It was pretty easy to put together. Hope this helps too

Hey Tony, my husband did have to tap them in. They are very snug but I don't remember him forcing them in. Hope this helps.

I would have to say no, the legs of your bed sit on the risers and the risers themselves are flat on the bottom. Once installed they are not made to be moved and the weight of the bed keeps them in place. Have to add they work great and are very sturdy.

From the bottom to the top of the posted end is 49". Legs have adjusters but where your bedframe has holes will determine how high off the floor the headboard will sit. I had to mount mine about 3/4 inches off the ground because of the height of the bed frame

Thanks SirBrad... I was having problems extending the bottom as well. Your suggestion helped me a lot. It's a pity they didn't specify this in the instructions.

I have a standard metal bed frame and this headboard was attached with screws. It comes with wood posts.

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.

Yes, the ends are screwed in place. The supplied hardware is not the best and depending on the wall material, may need to be replaced with higher quality fasteners.

The legs/frame must be attached to the headboard, so I suppose you could Not make that attachment. My oatmeal color is just what I expected. I love the color! Mimi96

Sounds like you don't have it extended enough. There should be three height levels. After you have expanded the base and attached the top, you extend each leg upward until it clicks into place. This is the lowest setting. You should be able to extend each leg two more "notches" if you will.

Our mattress is thick and comes to the bottom of the headboard. We have it screwed into the bed rails and it is very sturdy .

I have a queen bed and they aren't long enough to go the full length of my headboard, but i don't need them to so they work for me. Hope this helps.

i'm not sure if all frames have a portion at the head of bed that the posts from the headboard can fit in - I got another frame so it would have that area for the headboard post to fit in and it turned out my son's frame already had an area for the posts - so that's what you have to check

I had the same situation and it worked out. There's a few things to consider... the hooks on the ends must match firstly, which is hard to calculate unless you know what the prior ones looked like. There's a good change they WILL work, because they were somewhat common across beds, but there are exceptions. The length is a 'standard' length - so the basic question to find out is... will the hooks properly hook into your headboard and footboard. If you DON'T have the originals, find the cheapest set of adapter hooks (not the bars, just hooks) that appear to match those on these rails, order them, and if they fit, return them and order these bars. Secondly, make sure that you have a normal length mattress. That would be likely unless your mattress/box spring themselves were antiques and well... who would like that? ;)

Yes, That's the way I have it set up. If you don't use the short leg extensions it will be a bit lower also, which is exactly what I wanted.

The material does go all the way to the bottom and will rest against the wall. The legs must be attached when the bed is shipped. I love my head board.

i have only tried it for the foot board. Headboard brackets are usually part of the standard rails and should not need any more brackets or rail extensions.

Honestly, my did but the two bolts that are at each end of the bed one being on the head board and the other a the footer of the bed; were both vertical when they should of been horizontal in order to install the middle bar that holds the entire bed. So I had to chase 2k furniture to either send me another bed and/or do the installation... After several days of going back and forth and rescheduling appoints due to their availability; they came and instead of bringing me a new bed they drilled the bolts the way they should have been... Who is the furniture provider for you purchase?
