I had to submit questions to Amazon customers who bought one of these:(Fortunately, after one customers gave me answers to my question. I was able to realize that I needed to unzip the canvass on the back to find the area where the headboard screws into the black stand- zip it back up then poke a hole theu the back material in order to get the bolts thru to screw the headboard on)A copy of my question: question:"It came with no directions… how do you attach to a metal bed frame and how does it attach to the headboard? I see no holes on the headboard to attach "(Ambesonne New York Headboard, Liberty and USA Flag Retro Style Enlightening World Famous, Upholstered Decorative Metal Bed Headboard with Memory Foam, Full Size, Coral White)Brian Swanson answered:"The headboard should have come with 4 bolts, 8 washers, 4 lock washers, and 4 nuts. The bolts go through the frame and the slots in the headboard. The lockwashers and a regular washer go closest to the head of the bolt, the remaining washers go in front of the nut. Tighten the bolts until the headboard is securlely fastened to the bedframe. The legs of the headboard are slotted to accomidate different hights of bedframes. These slots are what you will use to secure the headboard to the bedframe."
