I got this bed headboard a couple of months ago and just had my handyman put it together yesterday. These flat metal bars slide up the back and you tighten them with bolts. I have a bed in another room that has a metal frame that came with these brackets to put a headboard on. If you bought the bed new then metal brackets should come with it. If not you may have to buy some. I have an adjustable bed that came with brackets so I attached those to the metal bars that you bolt on the headboard.

Quite easily. There are metal rails included with the headboard that attach to the back. These rails have slots for attaching to a metal frame. All the bolts needed to make these attachments are included. This is how I installed mine and it's very sturdy.

The directions enclosed include how to attach to the frame I guess they also sell for the headboard (linen sides and footboard), as well as directions to a standard metal frame. They give you all the hardware, you just need the tools and maybe an extra hand.

There are bolts on the frame that attach directly to the head board. I used a metal frame with mine as well.

We have it attached to a metal frame. I think there are already screw/bolt holes in the metal frame the headboard is built around (the back of the headboard is open and hollow).

There is included hardware that bolts to standard frame rails. There are slots in the vertical metal legs to account for different height frames.

You can use a construction glure to stick the metal track, in my case I attached the metal track with some 2" screws

We manufactured a small 3D ultra bracket to hold it. A sheet metal clip with a screw might work also.

We attached ours to a metal bed frame without a problem except that one of the bolt receivers on the headboard was stripped. We used a screw an inch or so away instead.

That's true, you'll have to add a Hollywood bed frame (simple metal frame), but those are inexpensive and it will be easy to attach.

I would say no. Not if you are going to hook it to the frame....metal hooks to a metal frame...probably won't fit.

Yes....I had no problem securing a metal frame and the license plate with these screws. It should not be an issue with a plastic frame.

You could try to zip tie it, tape it or use a hose clamp to mount it to the bars. It doesn't come with any mounting device.

There are a couple of *tiny* little holes at the top of the plastic bracket. You'd need a needle small 's' hook or something like that and a string or chain to hang it from... but sure, it's possible.

IMHO, a metal frame would not work. You need wooden slats to hold up the matress. However, the slats that come with the bed are questionable at best. If you buy this bed, go to Home Depot and buy a supportive peice of plywood to go underneath instead of the slats ($20).

my husband went to hardware and bought two L shaped metal brackets....attached to post on two sides....then to birdhouse with screws. perfect!

yes it will work on a metal frame. you may need to drill 6 holes to attach it. It has feet instead of roller wheels so doesn't roll when you move the bed. You can find models with wheels

I have a regular metal frame. It isn't attached, it just sets between your bed and the wall. It is wide enough for the fram, but they made it too low. I had to get some boards from Home Depot and boost it up about a foot or your pillows will slide into the bottom shelf.

I would make a template of cardboard first then punch holes for mounting points. beauty is you waste nothing and find the best mount points for your bike and like before it has been said use zip ties.

I installed this on a 40 year old bed that had metal side rails. I used self-tapping screws. If you are handy, a metal frame should not be a problem. If not, you will need help.

I have a metal frame. I don't know if this helps, but I just measured the diameter and height of the old one and searched for one that matched the dimensions. Worked for me.

No metal frame accompanies the panel. You use the existing panel. To get ours to fit the existing frame we had to trim them down with a scissors - maybe a 1/2 inch along 2 sides.
