Do you use bolts to attach the brackets to the headboard or do the brackets have hooks that hook onto the headboard?

They are definitely dead bolted in. Very secure! Slats are provided for mattress/box spring support once they were in place the frame was steady and firm. No bed frame needed. I had to make sure myself because my son was going to have to get used to having a full size bed. Funny thing you would never know it was once his crib. So worth saving the crib.

It would depend on the bed frame that you have. This headboard and footboard need to be screwed onto the frame so that they stay up and in place. The screws that come with are not the type that have a point at the end...these are like long bolts with a nuts to hold them on. I hope that helps.

No it doesn't. I love the headboard but I ordered the brackets to attach the headboard to the frame and never received them. I called and complained and is been almost a year and still no brackets.

For the headboard itself, it comes with the required hardware to assemble it. To attach it to your bed, you will need 4 bolts, nuts and washers; they are not provided.

I used the brackets that were already on my swing set for this swing. I bought hooks from lowes and it attached easily. No issues.

Measure the distance of the slots on your headboard and make sure the hooks are the same distance, then your bed frame has to be close to the same height as the headboard the brackets are adjustable up or down to match the height of the slots in the headboard. I had to drill a new mounting hole in the steel bed frame to get my bracket to line up correctly

I guess you are asking about installation of bed frame to this headboard. For that, it comes with bolts, washers and nuts to install bed frame to the headboard (through lower bolts). I bought steel bed frame from Costco, $39.99, adjustable for different bed sizes, which has end brackets to the headboard, so I did not need to buy additional hardware. Good luck!

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

As there are a number of suppliers of these brackets on Amazon it seems that some supply bolts and others do not. Personally I ordered two brackets and received four complete with sixteen nuts and bolts so I had plenty to attach headboard. I should note that the frame has threaded bosses to attach these brackets but the bolts I received had a different thread pattern. I simply ran a 1/4" drill through the bushings and through bolted the brackets to the frame. This was not a problem for me but could be if you do not have the necessary tools.

What hardware comes with it? All of the screws/bolts you need for assembly, plus small angle-irons so you can attach a bed to the headboard. The picture pretty much shows it all. What you see is what you get.

Hi Lora. The headboard comes with two sets of screws, washers and bolts. The headboard has pre-drilled holes in it. So all you have to do is line up the pre-drilled holes in the headboard with the slots on your bed frame and then tighten the screws, washers and bolts. It took me literally ten minutes to assemble once I got the headboard out of the packaging. Hope that helps. Howie

Use the hardware provided and follow the directions also provided. My metal bedframe has holes that lined up with the headboard. My daughter attached it for me with just a screwdriver and pliers. I held it for her to stabilize it until she got the screws started through the holes. Good Luck!

I got brackets for a head and foot board when I purchased Better than a Box Spring. Only used two for the head board. Saved the other two. Will sell them to you if you want them. Nancy

you need to carefully read the measurements of the hook to see if, when attached to the frame, it will slide open enough to reach the headboard slots in order to attach it. Also carefully measure your headboard, slot to slot.

No brackets are included but we use a metal headboard that is not attached ..its just stuck between wall and frame ,it won't move a bit because the bed/frame stays in place

To the best of my knowledge, the headboard does not include any attachments; and I do not know that any are available. My purchase was simply the headboard. Its posts each have two holes for bolts which attach directly to the bed frame. I don't know if you could modify your platform or not to accommodate it. Hope this helps.

I used these brackets with a queen headboard and king bed with hook brackets for the headboard and to be honest it does move a bit. There really isn't any alternative if you want to combine mismatched beds and headboards. The weight of your headboard will actually be an advantage and may move less than mine. I'd say do it!
