If you’re assembling an adjustable bed frame, use holes corresponding to the size of your mattress.
Some headboards can stand or lean on their own. If yours cannot, grab another person to hold it in place.
If you need to secure your side rails with screws, look for a small opening near the end of each rail. Insert a screw from behind the headboard into each opening and secure them with nuts. If you need to hook your side rails onto screws, push a screw into the designated area on each side of your headboard, then attach your side rail to it. If you need to secure your side rails with metal brackets, screw a bracket onto each end of the headboard, then screw the brackets to their respective side rail.
If your side rails do not have any markings, count how many support guides you have and attach them to bed frame at equal distances.
If your bed frame comes with both center support beams and panels, secure your beams first then lay your panels on top.
