I am looking for a headboard that attaches to the wall or is free-standing, rather than attaching to the bedframe. Will this headboard work?

Attaching to a bed frame is optional. It will work freestanding. Because of the way the slipcover goes on after assembly (slips on from the top) you might need to be creative in affixing it to a wall but it is possible.

I don't think this will work for what you are looking for. It is mostly wrapped foam construction. It would probably fall over if you left it freestanding. The only way you could mount it to the wall would cut into the cover. It would be easier to retrofit bed rail brackets on your frame.

You can certainly attach the headboard to the wall using a portion of the leg that is out of sight. I wouldn't recommend leaving it freestanding unless your bedframe can hold it securely against the wall. Frankly, if I'd only wanted a wall-mounted headboard, I'd have made it myself using plywood, batting and fabric. It's an easy task.

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!

Yes. It will work. Actually have mine leaving against the wall at the moment.

We attached ours to the bed frame, but it could be attached to wall or freestanding I suppose.

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

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

Purchased it for my daughter in college. It did not come with a headboard, or at least we did not order one. So one could have no headboard or as you suggest, add your own. You may not be able to attach is but you can certainly, with the weight of the bed, keep it preasured between the bed and the wall.

If you bought a headboard then it has attachments ...friends of mine did that and just attached it with the ones that came with their headboard..

It comes with hardware to attach a headboard! I have a headboard on mine and it took little or no effort/time to attach it!

This bed frame is very solid without a headboard but I intend on crafting one which, when attached, would strengthen it even further. The headboard could be attached to the bed frame, the wall or be free standing with the bed snuggled up against it.

This bed is flimsy enough that attaching a headboard without a great deal of hardware is impossible. To solve the problem of the headboard, I made a headboard and attached it to the wall (like a painting, a heavy painting) just in the proper location to mimic the placement of the headboard. That way the attachment of the headboard is not integral to the bed but looks great. I found that merely moving the bed could potentially cause breaks to the bed so attaching anything to the bed was too problematic.

This headboard is secured by short bolts with Allen head wrench. This would have to be modified to accept a bolt type connection to secure more firmly. Otherwise, in my opinion it would not be secure or long enough. Beautiful headboard. Even with regular bed frame can not be tightened enough to keep from squeaking.

Mine doesn't. My best advice is don't place the headboard directly against a wall, and make sure the screws are tight AND you should be just fine.

It does attach to a standard metal bed frame. I have the headboard near the wall I wouldn't put all my weight on it but it is sturdy. I think it's a good headboard for the money. The hardware was included not always the case.

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

The frame does not include brackets so it would have to be drilled or possibly find brackets that work with the headboard.

We attached ours to the bed frame. I don't think it will stand up on its own without securing it to the wall.

I used it with my existing head board and had no problem attaching it. It's a beautiful headboard and well worth the price.

No, you can't attach one. I mean you can probably figure out a way to but it is not set up for that. You could at least pin the headboard between the bed and a wall.

The frame is independent on it's own. It does not have to connect to a headboard. The additional leg items that you see on the front of the bed in the picture do not have to be on the frame and not using them does not hurt the integrity of the frame. We didn't use them on our bed. So I would say that you should probably be able to get your look with a little bit of engineering.

Hi, this is a very nice headboard. However, you will not be able to attach. We had to place big books under the base in order to get the right height. I did not buy the platform, perhaps that connects somehow. I doubt it though, looking at the picture it seems to raise the bed to the proper height only. You may want to purchase this also, if you don't have any big books, such as text books. I hope this helps.
