Beautiful styling - difficult to attach to wall
Beautiful styling, however extremely difficult (near impossible) to attach/mount to a plasterboard wall. The headboard is quite heavy (approx 30kg once assembled) so most plasterboard wall anchors will not support it and due to the fixed position of the mounting brackets on the headboard itself you're probably not going to be able to use existing wall studs to provide the support required. If you ARE able to find suitable fixing anchors and bolts ensure the centre point of the bolts are placed EXACTLY 1960 mm apart on the wall. As the mounting brackets must first be attached to the headboard in a fixed/non-adjustable position, even a 1 mm variance in the location of the wall anchor and bolts will make the headboard impossible to mount and you'll need to repair the ...

We ended up trying 3 different types of anchor (and undertaking 3 separate wall repairs to fix holes left by useless anchors and minor errors in anchor positioning - see above) before stumbling on the 'Fixit' brand plasterboard anchor at Bunnings that supports up to 55kg. After having built several Ikea products and being pretty confident with small-medium home reno projects - mounting this headboard is NOT for the faint-hearted.... Show more

Everything as expected
Really good as expected. It’s not the easiest to decide where to mount but I decided to put it so the lowest rack is at the same height as the top of mattress. The process is not the simplest but doable for one person.... Show more
