There are just a few simple steps to your headboard assembly
|
 |
Your headboard legs are covered in fabric and are shipped unattached. The extesions you see in the photo slide into the slots on your headboard. |
 |
Remove your headboard from the carton and set it roughly in its final position against the wall. |
 |
Position your headboard flat on the floor with the slots on the bottom facing away from the wall. Insert the legs into the slots. |
 |
Stand the headboard upright against the wall. Gravity will keep the legs in place. |
 |
Move the bed frame so it is touching the headboard legs. Using a ruler, center the frame on the two legs. Using a pencil, mark the position of the frame's bolt holes on the legs. |
 |
Remove the legs and using a 1/4" drill bit, drill 4 holes in the legs where they were marked.
Option: if you have a very plush mattress set and want to install your headboard higher than frame mounting will allow, then wall mounting is a good option. Use toggle bolts to securely fasten the headboard to the wall. |
 |
For frame installation, you will need to purchase (4) 1/4" x 1-1/4" nuts & bolts sets from your local hardware store. The thickness of the leg is 1" and the 1-1/4" should work with most bed frames. |

Pictured here is the "Border Rectangle Round Corner Headboard" finished. With the tools and bolts ready to go, the assembly should take approximately 30 minutes. |
