A king-size bed is a wonderful purchase. To enjoy the spaciousness of a king-size bed after having a double bed is a real treat.

Things you'll need:

5. Mattress

Instructions:

1. Begin with the headboard and the foot board. Place the headboard in the space where you intend to place the bed. Do the same with the foot board.

2. Lay out the side rails. Place them in brackets prepared for them on the headboard. Screw it in using the screwdriver or a drill. Do not screw it in tightly until all slats are in place.

3. Attach the side rails to the foot board in the same way as the headboard. Once you have all four corners screwed in loosely, you may go back and tighten the screws.

4. Place the support slats as instructed in the manual across the bottom of the bed frame.

5. Place your box springs and your mattress on top of the support slats and you are now ready to make your bed.

Executive summary about the headboard by Shannon Kietzman

Usually, a headboard is attached to the frame of the bed. In some cases, however, the headboard may simply rest behind the bed.

The headboard can, however, serve several additional purposes, may include cabinetry and other storage areas. The headboard may also be an integral part of the bedroom décor. Often, the headboard is designed to match the dressers and nightstands in a bedroom. A headboard may also have a matching footboard, which is located at the opposite end of the bed. Usually, the headboard stands taller than the footboard if both are present in a bed. Rarely is the footboard larger than the headboard.
