Can this be attached to just a standard metal bed frame or is it only compatible with the step one mates bed?

The headboard is attached to the matching wooden bed frame with wood screws. I suppose if you had the proper mounting angle irons you might be able to improvise, but this headboard was made for the matching bed frame. I would suggest careful measurements to see just where the attach-point might be, then you'd be into your own plans for the modification. Best wishes and good luck.

We only bought the bookcase headboard and it absolutely could be attached to the metal frame bed. We chose not for ease of moving the bed around. My kids like to rearrange their rooms on occasion.

Yes, the headboard is compatible with standard frames. Bolts are included to attach to your existing frame. It assembles quickly and easily and is quite sturdy once assembled.

Yes, I purchased the Queen/Full size and it easily attached to the metal frame I already had. There are holes that line up to accommodate the various size frames.

It is attached to a metal bedframe. A friend did it for me. The quality is good and it looks nice. SW

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.

There are bolts included that I used with my standard metal bedframe. I attached very easily, and is secure.

YES - if your goal is to attach a headboard / footboard to the frame. Be sure the frame is long enough - otherwise you may need a frame extender for the actual frame (which turned out to be my inability to use this part)

I easily attached it to a standard queen size metal bed frame. I used only the hardware included. Mine is solid hardwood, not particle board, and I am very pleased with the quality for the price. The headboard is shipped unassembled. I put it together by myself without too much difficulty, but another set of hands would have been helpful.

Actually this is also a footboard. The assembly instructions say to make it a footboard DO NOT INSTALL to extension legs to raise the unit to headboard height. There are mounting holes in the frame to attach the unit to the foot of the bed. Your existing bed frame MUST have the footboard mounting plates. Not all frames have them.

The supports have a hole on each end for either a bolt or screw. To attach to metal rails, you may need to drill a hole in your frame. The supports are fairly stable, though, so you may not need to bolt at all -- depends on how 'active' you are in bed...

We attached it to "The Little Giant" 17ft ladder. Since it goes on the end of the extension - 'the feet' - there is no way to attach it to the step of a step ladder.

Yes you can attach it to a standard metal frame and my daughter does lean up against it with no problems.

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.

I used it with a metal bedframe. It's not elegant and needs to be adjusted occasionally. Does the job but not what it was designed to do.

It's just a standard metal frame between the headboard and footboard. So, probably.

Yes it will UNLESS you have the stepside model with the narrower bed. If yours is a "stepside" don't buy this item.

Won't take standard frame-has to be 2 separate rails that bolt into headboard and footboard
