Despite my having a slightly bent bed frame face upon which to mount the full bed adjustment plate, the headboard was manufactured in such a way that I was able to move the adjustment plate around before tightening nuts onto bolts. Installing this by myself, it did take me a bit of time to get the job done. One suggestion: make the small bolts an eighth of an inch longer so that those of us installing the headboard on a bed with a heavy box spring and mattress in place can more easily feel the end of the bolt (fingers squeezed down into a very tight space between frames corner and box spring!) so to maneuver the nut over that bolt end and start the tightening process. The headboard looks great!
