Panel Frame or Headboard Styles
Be sure to inventory all parts and tools before you start lay out your frame and hardware.

Note that the footboard and backboard usually have grooved bottoms.  The grooves should face in towards each other.  Make sure all frame boards have finished surfaces facing down on the floor.

With Headboard
Frames that come with a headboard should attach the headboard to back frame board using the hardware and screws supplied.

Assemble The Frame
Using the brackets and screws provided, assemble the frame. The headboard should be up.

Positioning
Position the assembled frame where it will ultimately rest in the room. Go on to building the pedestal.

Select Standard Pedestal or Drawer Pedestal from the menu to the left.
