Setup and Assembly
This headboard requires assembly. Please ensure all components are present before beginning. The bed frame and mattress are not included.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)

Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Verify that all parts and hardware are present according to the packing list (if provided).
- Assemble the Main Frame: Connect the horizontal bars to the vertical support posts using the provided screws/bolts. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten initially.
- Attach the Legs: Secure the metal legs to the bottom of the headboard frame. Ensure they are firmly attached and provide stable support.
- Tighten All Connections: Once the main frame and legs are assembled, carefully tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the material.
- Position the Headboard: Place the assembled headboard against the wall at the head of your bed frame.
- Secure to Bed Frame (Optional): If your bed frame has attachment points, use appropriate hardware (not included) to secure the headboard to the bed frame for added stability. Note: This headboard is designed for square tube beds from our collection.

Usage
The vidaXL Metal Headboard provides excellent back support, allowing you to comfortably sit up in bed for activities such as reading, watching television, or working on a laptop. Ensure the headboard is stable and securely positioned before leaning against it.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the headboard regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Excessive Weight: Do not hang heavy objects on the headboard or apply excessive force, as this may compromise its structural integrity.
