Footboard needed ALOT of modification to attach to bed frame - thankfully my husband is very handy and fabricated brackets that helped brace the frame and footboard together so that the legs dont move around so easily.
Also.... one of the four finials had a very short screw the didn’t match the others, so it cannot be attached to the bed. I’m contacting customer service re: a replacement part.
Update: Customer service took care of the finial issue immediately.
